For other string constructors, the question is whether there /is/ code

strings, but also establishes an exception handler that abandons loading 
the document.

Related to that topic I tried to find and merge the .doc/.xls etc vast
collection of custom methods that constructed strings from a stream
based on a document provided potentially large count, i.e.
read_uInt16s_ToOUString and friends. Those ones now use the
(non-memset-0-ing) comphelper::string::rtl_uString_alloc (which I moved
out of i18npool or i18nutil or something) and that alternative
rtl_uString/rtl_String builder throws on alloc failure.
