String performance must be perfect, acceptable is not acceptable
========================
Database servers handle UTF8 efficiently. Also they provide infexing (
hashing for textual data) - these "special tchiniques"...

Again the question, do you think working with current msestring is comfortable?
========================
Yes, very compfortable :) Although UTF8 database setups are comfortable too.

Why not utf-16?
========================
With surrogates ? A good replacement for UTF8 provided that all
"ansistring" like operations work correctly for surrogates &
transparently (no special care) for programming.
Though there's a lot of UTF8 contents and there'll be more & more UTF8
contents which will have to be transcoded in run-time from/to to MSE
programs if they stay non-UTF8. What is heavier - run-time impact or
transcoding one ?
