Out of idle curiosity is there anything that stops MicroPython, or any
other implementation for that matter, from providing views of a string
rather than copying every time? IIRC memoryviews in CPython rely on the
buffer protocol at the C API level, so since strings don't support this
protocol you can't take a memoryview of them. Could this actually be
implemented in the future, is the underlying C code just too
complicated, or what?
Anybody?
