So what's the difference between a string for encoding human readable text and a string that handles raw data? There is no difference, but because "string" connotes "human readable text" to most, using a different name for the raw storage class will dissociate that connotation from the raw storage. Thank you. I've long thought that about std::string, people use it all the time as a sequence of bytes.
