The function <code>SliceData</code> returns a pointer to the underlying array of the <code>slice</code> argument.
If the slice's capacity <code>cap(slice)</code> is not zero, that pointer is <code>&slice[:1][0]</code>.
If <code>slice</code> is <code>nil</code>, the result is <code>nil</code>.
Otherwise it is a non-<code>nil</code> pointer to an unspecified memory address.
</p>
<p>
The function <code>String</code> returns a <code>string</code> value whose underlying bytes start at
<code>ptr</code> and whose length is <code>len</code>.
The same requirements apply to the <code>ptr</code> and <code>len</code> argument as in the function
<code>Slice</code>. If <code>len</code> is zero, the result is the empty string <code>""</code>.
Since Go strings are immutable, the bytes passed to <code>String</code> must not be modified afterwards.
</p>
<p>
The function <code>StringData</code> returns a pointer to the underlying bytes of the <code>str</code> argument.
For an empty string the return value is unspecified, and may be <code>nil</code>.
Since Go strings are immutable, the bytes returned by <code>StringData</code> must not be modified.
