Yes, and euphoria does a pretty good job with most string jobs I've run
across. We all agree that sequences with millions of elements don't
work well with today's hardware, which happens to be your use case.

Yeah, some people disagree with you. Some don't. But it doesn't matter what
anyone wants if no one can figure out a good way to implement them, which
happens to be the case with strings.

Few people have. It *does* help if you have some code that does it. Asking
others to do the work on stuff you're interested in works less well in a
volunteer setting.
The only code of yours I've seen really has been strtok stuff, and it seemed
good enough to me. I haven't really seen the assaults on your code, but
I've sure heard you talk about them a lot. I certainly sympathize with
your RL issues.
