I've seen the damage done in C++ with multiple string types. Being able

I'm not quite sure about that last sentence. I suspect that the better way
for applications to handle strings of characters would be to internally
store and manipulate them as utf-32 (dchar[]) and only when doing I/O use
the other utf forms. So converting from the different forms is very
helpful.
