Re: Cello: a library of string algoritms using succinct data structures

[Krux02]

I just looked over the introduction you just posted. I am not really into 
string algorithms, I rather avoid all string operations in my applications 
except string format for output. Therefore I can already see that this library 
is not for me, but still it would be nice to read one or two sentences about 
what the “succinct data structure” actually is.
