In Rust, the built-in std::str type "is a sequence of unicode

Meanwhile, building on experience with Python 2 and 3, I think it's
worth considering a more flexible design.
A string would be essentially a rope where each leaf specifies an
encoding, e.g. UTF-8 or ISO8859-1 (ideally expressed as one or two
bytes).
This is too complex for a systems language with a simple library.
