That would allow us to e.g. switch from the
pointer+length representation to the arguably better pointer+pointer
representation with ease.
In what way is that representation better?
I agree, I don't see why the representation is inherently better. Some
operations become higher performance (i.e. popFront), and some become
worse (i.e. length). Most of the others are a wash.
That's where frequency of use comes into play. I'm thinking popFront
would be used most often, and it touches two words.
