The language moratorium kind of makes this all theoretical, but building a String ABC still would be a good start, and presumably isn't forbidden by the moratorium. Because a new ABC would go into the stdlib (I assume in collections or string) the moratorium does not apply.

Although it would require changes for builtin types like file to work with a new string ABC, right?
