  • Implement a new StringView type to efficiently create substrings of another string
  • StringView stores a reference to the original string, a starting offset and a length
  • Come up with some heuristics on how to decide when to create a string view and when to just create a copy.
  • GC could create copies if it is determined that the original string is no longer needed and only accessed through views.
