Hi Peter,

I'm pretty sure this has been said before, but I personally think the string API should be representation agnostic.
I would tend to agree with you, but the problem with that approach is that then the report cannot make any guarantees on the complexity of the various operations it specifies. I'm sure you could make an argument that it shouldn't make any such guarantees, but the fact remains that you can't get something (representation agnostic report) for nothing (not losing complexity guarantees) here.

Regards,
Jon
