I think Walter preferred showing the array nature of strings. Then again 
he also preferred showing the bit nature of bools, things change... :-)

Maybe the time has come for offering a more "readable" alias for it ?

I used "str" myself, partly because it was shorter and partly to avoid 
mixing it up with "std::string" in my head. (since it is not a class)
