The entire problem revolves around adding Unicode support as an option, without modifying the core. *If* we allow ourselves to modify the core, then there is no problem at all, and we can just copy the utf8 egg code over the existing string procedures, and add in some procedures for byte-level access.
FWIW, I'd rather there be a totally separate thing for byte strings, so they're kept apart. There's some SRFI for that...
