For SDC for instance, autodecode is a problem (in fact, it is the 
very reason I abandoned making the lexer usable as a standalone) 
while RCStr would not help one bit as string are pretty much 
never manipulated directly anywhere.

More generally, using RCStr is at best sidestepping the issue 
rather than solving it.

On the GC side of the issue, I think there are also 
overstatements.
