The
Stringvs.&strsplit is definitely annoying, but a necessary drawback of Rust's ownership mechanics (which bring many benefits compared to C in other places).The others have their specific use-cases (like file paths or C interop). It's certainly not like you constantly juggle 8 different kinds of strings.
