Do you propose a string without the array operator [] ?
I don't understand what you mean by this.
Of course an appropriate "char" type for each string encoding brand could to be provided, hence a "CP_QWord Char" as an alias or a QWord.
(Please keep in mind that in that paper (as explicitly pointed out) "String" is not a synonym for "printable text" but for "sequence of similar things". And here of course (at least in a 64 bit system) it's extremely appropriate to allow for 64 bit elements. And of course this is just a suggestion that could solve a certain class of problems but needs a big effort to do and verify the modifications in the compiler and the libraries.)
