I did not really suggest that, only that the new string type has an internal structure identical to a pike_string struct, thus making it quite easy to fix the functions that need to handle them.

Making pike's builtin string type a true inheritable program would be nice. I mean, that's improving the one true string type, and I'm only arguing against new alternative, independent, string classes. If you understand what I mean.
But I think it's best to consider making string (or other pike builtin types) inheritable classes as an orthogonal issue.
