1 year ago The Strings Theory sounds like a good addition, though I am not sure about including it in the Core theory. That's kind of the whole idea of Core that it only includes Core computations (and it is already a little bit overextended to my taste, e.g., compare it with the SMT's Core theory, which is much thinner).
So, maybe the issue should be just "Develop the String Theory"?
Just like SMT it would allow better reasoning about strings: https://microsoft.github.io/z3guide/docs/theories/Strings/
The tricky thing is to decide about encoding, Unicode, handling "wide" characters with zeroes inside, handling grapheme clusters, etc.
