Hi Stephan,

That's the wrong question. If we're serious about replacing the
tools-String class with the rtl-OUString, then it's ridiculous to *not*
have a plain string replacement functionality (intern or extern to the
class, I do not really care).

Look around in our code how often String is used instead of OUString,
even in newly written code. That's not only because of existing
interfaces require Strings, but also because string manipulation is so
much easier with the String.

If we do not have such very basic operations on the OUString, then
people will never accept it as replacement.

That said, I'm out of this discussion (well, I try to be). I've said
everything which reasonably can be said here.

Ciao
Frank
