The new 'String' buffer type is meant to replace the manually created
character buffers that are scattered throughout Genode. It plainly holds
a null-terminated string to be stored as a member variable (e.g., a
session label) or passed as RPC argument. It is not intended to become a
string API.
By now, the memcmp implementation of Genode's basic string utilities just
returned whether two memory blocks are equal or differ. It gave no hint which
block is greater, or lesser than the other one. This isn't the behaviour
anticipated by implementations that rely on the C standard memcmp, e.g. GCC's
libsupc++, or the nic_bridge's AVL tree implementation.
