This says that a string interface consists of operations
that allow us to use string objects like one uses arrays.

Is this set of array ops not included in a Vector's interface,
or in a Tuple's interface, provided the formal Element_Type
requires the properties of "code points"?

Which algorithms require a String_Interface that excludes
other array/vector operations?
