You are seeing a more fine grained interop and an almost opaque string can
wrap / be a .NET string , I was looking more at doing strings the bitc way
and sending it to the C or the CLR  and then converting to our
representation when we get it back. 

 

I suppose this comes down to libraries - the fine grained approach allows
much better use of the .NET libraries and in fact would make BitC and full
.NET language . Which is good and bad.  If you want to use CLR strings what
about collections  , does List<String> fit into the picture ?
