A mutable string would not (AFAICT) be usefully implementable as a
subclass of the built-in string types. So even if such a type existed,
it would not be useable with all the functionality that works with
strings.
What is it you're trying to do that makes you search for a mutable
string type? It's likely that a better approach can be found.
