Hello,
Guile needs immutable strings. String literals should be immutable, so
that its characters can come directly from objcode. Also, the result of
(symbol->string 'foo) should be immutable; currently symbol->string
conses up a new shared substring every time.
In practice this means a flag on the stringbuf.
Takers? :)
