P.S. When Apple broke the ABI for OS X 10.0, they changed the layout of constant strings quite significantly. Static CF strings can be stored in different encodings, for example, so you can have UTF16 CF strings if UTF16 takes less space for your particular character set.
As I haven't completely finalised the non-fragile ABI, does anyone want to request any additions to our constant string layout? Anything that would make implementing NSConstantString easier? Note that mixing two constant string classes currently breaks GNUstep in a number of fun and exciting ways, so this would be something that would likely to need a complete recompile, if we did change it, unless you want to fudge something like making the length field negative for the new layout...
