Re: Why are strings linked lists?

G'day all. Quoting Wolfgang Jeltsch <wolfgang@jeltsch.net>:

I think, I have already said the following on this list. I would also like to have different character types for different subsets of Char (e.g., ASCII) and a class Character which the different character types are instances of.

As a matter of interest, what might some of the methods of this class be? ord and chr are two obvious choices. What else? Cheers, Andrew Bromage
