    <comment: 'My instances represent 8-bit character strings.  Being a very common
case, they are particularly optimized.

Note that, if you care about multilingualization, you should treat
String only as an encoded representation of a UnicodeString.  The I18N
package adds more Unicode-friendliness to the system so that encoding
and decoding is performed automatically in more cases.  In that case,
String represents a case when the encoding is either unknown, irrelevant,
or assumed to be the system default.'>
