You need a single set of functions in the Pike module API that can handle all kinds of strings, builtin or custom. An individual C module should not need to know.

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.
