I think Guy Steele has more interesting things in mind than
reimplementing strings.
I'm not Guy Steele, I have boring things in mind such as seeing if
this theme can be extended across to the area of data types.
Why should I care? Its not interesting to you, but in case you've
missed the fact, I'll tell you:
Programs are pretty pointless without a concept of data. That is why I
find the question both interesting and important.

I may have misread your post, but I see it as both a) condescending,
and b) lacking anything interesting in itself.
Although I don't mind either of those properties on their own, when
combined, a magical process occurs in my brain where I start thinking
less of you, no matter how good a Lisp hacker you are.
And no, my question wasn't the best in the world, it was merely aimed
at producing some interesting conversation.
