I understand, but frankly I don't feel like I understand the ABI strategy well enough. I'd rather prefer if say Benjamin could get the ball rolling with your help. Then I will be able to help for the rest of the work. For instance if you could show me in practice how you promote ext/vstring to basic_ string then I can certainly do the rest.
