If you use Unicode and follow their recommendations, you are going to be 
using dstrings at some point.

For example, string equivalence, and anything to do with case is going 
to use them and very likely to require multiple memory allocations to do it.

Its just an unnecessary goal, when most of the string algorithms we have 
probably don't care about the encoding and those that do probably will 
be using dstrings.
