AFAIK (As Far As I Know), the string "Hello World" is stored in memory as
"Hello World", not as the euphoria sequence. This is just euphorias way of
displaying sequences in an easy to read form, and printing to disk is just
another type of displaying, as far as euphoria is concerned. Of course,
printf can be used to ovveride the default display method.
