/// Interns Rust strings so that it's much faster to send them to JS.
///
/// Sending strings from Rust to JS is slow, because it has to do a full `O(n)`
/// copy and *also* encode from UTF-8 to UTF-16. This must be done every single
/// time a string is sent to JS.
///
/// If you are sending the same string multiple times, you can call this `intern`
/// function, which simply returns its argument unchanged:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use wasm_bindgen::intern;
/// intern("foo") // returns "foo"
/// # ;
/// ```
///
/// However, if you enable the `"enable-interning"` feature for wasm-bindgen,
/// then it will add the string into an internal cache.
///
/// When you send that cached string to JS, it will look it up in the cache,
/// which completely avoids the `O(n)` copy and encoding. This has a significant
/// speed boost (as high as 783%)!
///
/// However, there is a small cost to this caching, so you shouldn't cache every
/// string. Only cache strings which have a high likelihood of being sent
/// to JS multiple times.
///
/// Also, keep in mind that this function is a *performance hint*: it's not
/// *guaranteed* that the string will be cached, and the caching strategy
/// might change at any time, so don't rely upon it.
