Also, str != ~[u8] (for good reason). The internal array is hidden

it would probably still make sense to view it as an object :-)
No! Read the thread! You need `&str and `&'static str` for performance
as well as `~str`.
This thread is has been running off the rails a bit. Let's all please
take a step back. This subject is one of the most subtle areas of Rust's
type system, is in flux, and a lot of our plans about it are scattered
across various places and passed around through informal conversation.
It's understandable that there's confusion and debate here.
