I'll have to ask @merykitty why that patch was stalled. Never appeared on my 
radar until now -- thanks!

The approach to use the library call kit API is promising since it avoids the 
need to port.  And with similar results. I'll see if we can merge the approach 
here of having a shared intrinsic for `Arrays` and `String`, and bring in an 
ISA-independent backend implementation as in #6658
