Comment:
Replying to [ticket:1370 jkeenan]:
Reviewing this nine-month-old discussion, it appears that quite a few
knowledgeable contributors disagreed with the wisdom of this goal:
>
> Remove uses of `->strstart` outside of ''src/string''. Either use
`Parrot_str_to_cstring`/`Parrot_str_free_cstring bufstart`. See r40983 for
examples of both and ask on #parrot if you're not sure.
>
If the goal is fundamentally unwise, then we should close this ticket. I
will do so in seven days if there are no objections.
Thank you very much.
