Then we should work at getting faster compiles, not to change the
features used from C++ or its library. At present I feel that using
lyxstring as a cushion to not do anything about the organization of
files/libs/structures(/whatever) since the compile times are ok. I'd
rather force std::string and from there work to get the compile times
down.
A lot of LyX code is not nice at all, and makes the compile really
slow. (~2000 line functions...)
