Why do we have to put everything in string?

why
    Zip string: 'hello'
    Zip bzip string: 'hello'
    Zip gzip string: 'hello'

would not be more modular?
Zip could be a factory and have subclasses.

This is not because can extend classes that we should think about nicer way.

I like for example the DateFormatter strategy related to Date from other languages because I can specify the way I want it.

This seems related to adding 'easy of use' methods to String.

There are many different compression schemes (zip, bzip, bzip2, gzip, ...), are 
we going to add them all ?

How much do we want to couple different parts of the system ?
I prefer to couple the compression schemes with String and ByteArray. Methods 
like #zipped, #unzipped are not that simple and it is not well apparent how to 
use that compression scheme.

Cheers,
Juraj

Do you agree?
