Kat, please don't be snarky.  You could write that stuff couldn't you?  I
would agree that classes would make it simpler, but again it's just data
and Euphoria gives you all the tools you need.  Could it more effeciently
be written into the core?  Absolutely.  There is where perhaps you could
make your case.

But your case would be a lot stronger if you had written a string library
and already found it's performance limited.  I haven't checked the archive
but if someone there has written a string library you might find an ally
to adding it to the core?  Something to think about anyway.

I hope I've given you some helpful ideas.
