⚠️ Compiler Error

This week's theme: The NSString Class Cluster!

1. Most dynamically allocated NSStrings are actually _NSCFString, which is essentially represented by a CFStringRef or CFMutableStringRef.

2. NSSecuredString is a specialized implementation of a string that keeps its contents encrypted at rest until they are accessed directly, preventing RAM snapshot analysis.

3. Whenever path component methods are used, NSPathStore2 is returned, providing an optimized view into an array of path components.

4. NSCheapMutableString is a limited mutable string that allows for zero-copy initialization, primarily used for temporarily wrapping stack buffers.
