i think this is a very powerful idea.  although the
interface is high-level, and if you need to format a
structure, you need to write a print format, it results 
in a good old char*, not a String*.  the code that uses
String*s tends to have a fair percentage of code converting
between char* and String*.  in a few cases i've removed
30 or 40 lines of code by converting from a String* to a 
char*/*print because the conversion goo and String helper 
functions and conversion goo were no longer needed.
