you can't just wistfully imagine effortlessly passing String objects around
To clarify, I didn’t mean it. No new style API/ABI. Only unboxing a string into (str, len) in/out-params and boxing it back from returns.

Lots of C programs define a more substantial string type for themselves (e.g. dynamic, reference-counted strings or what have you), used only internally. Time-honored tradition.
