Sounds like a good first step, even though I personally would prefer UCS-4 strings (constant lookup + modification and so on). But that seems to be unpopular, AFAICT...
Wouldn`t that be possible to specify which internal string encoding is used by the core as a CHICKEN build-time option? For embedded systems with limited resources that will give a decent leverage to choose from - either consume more memory but more fast lookups etc (in the case of UCS-4) or consume less memory by the cost of UTF-8 conversions on the fly during string operations.
