Strings?

[Rudxain]

Something like:

pub struct NEstr<'a>(char, &'a str);
pub struct NEString(char, String);

This has occurred to me in the past. Can you think of any UTF-8 implications that might arise?

[Rudxain]

IIRC, Rust slices at bytes, not chars. And since char is always a 4octet code-point, while str uses a non-fixed-width encoding, it might be non-trivial to define how slicing should work here 🤔🙁
