+1 >From the discussions I had seen I thought the general direction for a new string API would be based on string-cursors, which have been implemented and used for some time in multiple Schemes. String cursors have the advantage that they are a different way to access the same underlying datatype, so you don't need to duplicate every API that works with textual data. For special optimization cases something like this library may be useful, but I'd like to see it implemented and used for a while before we decide whether it's good for general purpose code, and further whether to standardize it. -- Alex
