But we have two __ratio's: __ratio for _RWSTD_NEW_CAPACITY_RATIO
and __ratio for _RWSTD_STRING_CAPACITY_RATIO.

The 10 in left shift is related to the ">> 10" and "& 0x3ff"
operations, but 1000 value is independent from them.
We can define _RWSTD_NEW_CAPACITY_RATIO as 16180
and use 10000 instead of 1000 (i.e. if the _RWSTD_NEW_CAPACITY_RATIO
will contain the 5 significant digits).
Are we need the possibility to change the _RWSTD_NEW_CAPACITY
value to some other? Or we can assume that this value is fixed?
