This type choice is perhaps motivated by a remark in the [LLVM Programmer's Manual](https://www.llvm.org/docs/ProgrammersManual.html#std-string) which says that
> The major disadvantage of `std::string` is that almost every operation that makes them larger can allocate memory, which is slow. As such, it is better to use `SmallVector` or `Twine` as a scratch buffer, but then use `std::string` to persist the result.
However the performance of this code is probably irrelevant (it isn't called too often), so I feel that `SmallString` and `std::string` are equally acceptable types for this variable.
