Details

Bug 1454568 added [infallible] support for interface and domobject attributes. Adding it for strings as well would be nice.

For `string` and `wstring`, the infallible getter could just return `char*`/`char16_t*` in the obvious fashion.

For `AString`, `ACString` and `AUTF8String`, the form of the infallible getter is less obvious. Should it still use an outparam? An outparam is less convenient to use, but does allow the use of nsAuto[C]String.
