IIRC, Skip had developed a smart version that returned lazy string
objects that kept a reference and pointers to the original string
(instead of making its own copy of the string components). The string
subclass would expand itself and free the reference if necessary for a
subsequent string operation. The main purpose was to handle the cases
where one fragment of the other was never used or just had a length
check. Also it was helpful when partition was used lisp-style to
repeatedly break-off head/tail fragments.<br>
