s/foo_t/parrot_string_t/g;
s/FooPtr/Parrot_String/g;
s/FOO/STRING/g;
and you'll start to get an idea of the scope of the problem.
The Right Answer is probably to change all the STRING*s in the core to
Parrot_Strings. However, there are two problems with that:
-STRING* is supposed to be a way for core hackers to avoid extra typing.
While you're at it, why not s/INTVAL/Parrot_Int/g?
-That's a damn big change.
