Sorry, we don't really need O(1) string operations for this.
We can write three difference reference implementations:
* the preferred (and fastest) implementation would use
strings as the low-level containers for characters
* another implementation would use vectors instead of
strings, for use in R5RS-conforming systems whose
strings are inefficient
* a third implementation would use bytevectors instead
of strings, for use in R6RS systems whose strings are
inefficient
