Would it not bet better is String were a typeclass instead of a data type. Then the string operations could be redefined by implementation, so you may have strings as lists or strings as arrays? Keean.

It would be nice to have a Sequence type class which provides a uniform interface for common operations on List and Array, Lists of Arrays and so on. Then String could be based on whatever implementation of a Sequence.
