That's enforced now? If so, then the lack of purity for string conversions 
does become a serious issue which must be sorted out ASAP. Still, while I can 
understand why classes would enforce them (though last time I looked at 
Object, it hadn't marked them as such even though that's planned), I don't 
know why structs would.
