Okay, thanks for your patient replies of how to change the reader etc.
The answers all seem to resoundingly imply not only that string can be/
is efficiently implemented in terms of array, but it will be possible
to use it exactly as any other default data type.
Although there was also a minor unspoken curiosity as to whether a
certain set of axiomatic types could be/is used for implementing all
others, this is probably also silly because at the bottom line it
would be implementation dependant, and that no-one touched on that
would seem to agree that it is unimportant.
This was certainly a poor attempt at a good question, so sorry for
that.
