std::swap(std::basic_string)

template< class CharT, class Traits, class Alloc >
void swap( std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, Alloc> &lhs,
           std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, Alloc> &rhs );
(until C++17)
template< class CharT, class Traits, class Alloc >
void swap( std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, Alloc> &lhs,
           std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, Alloc> &rhs ) noexcept(/* see below */);
(since C++17)
