I think those are very optimized* and borrowing a custom solution wouldn't beat std::string performance unless it has some significantly reduced functionality. * especially since we're using C++11: it has some good features such rvalue-references that allow simple move semantics. > > The GLib functions are not terribly sophisticated, they are merely a > convenience.
