Does it treat substrings as first-class objects? If so, how is it different from texts?

This is about the email thread we had a while back ("substring" in the title). We didn't make a clear decision about strings vs texts; we'll have to do that before submitting this to the SRFI process. We also didn't finish the API yet; there were a couple of proposals left floating in the end.

Substrings would be just ordinary strings (or immutable strings, or texts).

I've posted those messages in discussion.txt. If you want to edit them, go ahead, of course.
