re irv:

i'm not sure what your agenda is, wanting a datatype which prints "John" instead
of whatever john is in {0,1,2,3}. That's not a datatype, what you are referring
to is a method of output, specifically to a terminal.

just use puts() instead of print() or its alias, ?

if a string type was implemented in euphoria, it would have to be:

a) an alias for a sequence in *every way*
b) act as a sequence in all logical operations
c) act as a sequence in all mathematical operations
d) act as a sequence in all terminal display operations

or simply, be a sequence in every way; which is flagged to put to the terminal
window the actual ascii values instead of their numbers in ex.err
