Ok, I thought there was some gotcha, knowing very little of the String pmc. I'll take this as a good enough reason to implement a generic "packed" pmc.
It should be very simple, no fancy ops on it, just keyed
interface and stringifications.

I don't know if that's exactly what you want. A string is a list of
integers corresponding to character points and nothing more than that
so probably doesn't form a good vehicle for a packed data structure.
