In subversion svn_string_t was introduced, because it wasn't in APR. It does (AFAIK) exactly what brian describes.
is there any reason NOT to introduce this into the APR now? we could then slowly migrate strings to this
I'm in favor of including it in APR, but opposed to trying to retrofit it into Apache before 2.0 GA. My rationale for this is that, even with a reference-counted string class, we'll have to be extremely careful not to make performance worse when doing a major change in the string handling. (And we're close to having all the really significant strlen and strdup inefficiencies fixed in httpd-2.0 already.)
