I'm noticing that most eggs and even a lot of the builtin libraries use strings to manipulate binary data. There is also a lot better support for string manipulation (SRFI-13).
However, R5RS doesn't require strings to be bytes. So, am I safe, in Chicken, to use strings for binary data? I start using u8vectors, and then discovered that a lot of libraries I wanted to use to manipulate them wanted strings. The other possibility would be for me to enhance the libraries I'm using to also work with u8vectors.
