I should clarify that. It's taking 70 - 80% as long to use consumeFront to 
iterate over a string than it is to iterate using popFront and getting front 
on every iteration. The way I worded that could imply that it was taking 20 - 
30% as much time, which would be a _much_ larger improvement than I'm actually 
seeing.
