And, again: it's not like this is a problem we need to fix now (if ever).

Do you know this to be a fact? AFAIK, Guile-Emacs could perfectly live
with having Emacs buffers, Emacs strings, and Scheme strings, with no
extra cost, except when you *want* to convert between them (but as long
as you don't run any Scheme, you shouldn't need/want to do any such
conversion).
