+/// Helper macro to generate a simple string type wrapper.
+///
+/// This is meant to be used with an API-type tuple struct containing a single `String` like this:
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// api_string_type! {
+///     #[api(format: &PROXMOX_SAFE_ID_FORMAT)]
+///     /// ACME account name.
+///     #[derive(Clone, Eq, PartialEq, Hash, Deserialize, Serialize)]
+///     #[serde(transparent)]
+///     pub struct AccountName(String);
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// This will automatically implements:
+/// * `Display` as a pass-through to `String`'s `Display`
+/// * `Debug` as a pass-through to `String`'s `Debug`
+/// * `Deref`
+/// * `DerefMut`
+/// * `AsRef<str>`
+/// * `fn into_string(self) -> String`
+/// * `fn as_str(&self) -> &str`
+/// * `fn from_string(inner: String) -> Result<Self, anyhow::Error>` using
+///   `StringSchema::check_constraints`.
+/// * `unsafe fn from_string_unchecked(inner: String) -> Self`
