Abseil associative containers having keys of a string type provide so-called heterogeneous lookup: they allow either
std::string,std::string_view, orabsl::Cordvalues in lookup.On the other hand, using either of associative containers should not require compiling the cord library unless the use of
absl::Cordis explicitly requested.The solution is to forward-declare
absl::Cordand a few functions just to support heterogeneous lookup, make the associative containers use these functions only, and require users ofabsl::Cordto link with the cord library explicitly.fixes #1868
