Does it really even matter what my point was?

Eu doesn't have a string type, there is no string in Eu. They are sequences,
where every 8bit character takes up 32bits. And you are adding a function that
replaces 3 whole lines of code that do the same thing, a trivial thing, while
important stuff doesn't get added.
