Chaos already has a "string" data type that is made up of letters, numerals, or
underscores.  I just added a couple primitives that compare two strings for
equality (one of them is case-insensitive).  The library doesn't, OTOH, have a
facility for translating a string of words into a string of characters, but
doing that isn't all that hard (the attached file does it).  What is hard, as
usual, is getting it to work on buggy preprocessors.
