I have nothing significant to contribute, but just want think out loud
that for a variable-width string representation (which I think we are
converging to, for better or worse), the traditional `string-ref' and
`string-set!' operations (as if strings were vectors) are not natural
any longer.
I wouldn't mind if string-ref and string-set! would take large
performance hits but we would have an alterntive, more functional and
list-like interface to strings as a replacement. I'd say that
scanning (with substrings as a result) and concatenation are useful
operations that can be fast for variable-width encodings and can
probably substitute for string-ref and string-set.
