Unifying the Elisp and Scheme string types is important, but more of a
long-term goal to allow convenient and efficient interaction between the
languages. Guile-Emacs's performance problems are mostly unrelated to
string handling. Elisp string representation is unchanged from standard
Emacs, except for trivial changes to make them an application-defined
Guile type.
