Hello Pascal,

Thank you for this contribution. Here are some comments:
- since UTFString is a class ("a tagged record type"), why don't you create=
 an abstract root "UXString" and then derive specialized object types ? Lik=
e UTF_8_XString, UTF_16_XString, ASCII_XString, Win_1252_XString, Latin_XSt=
ring, etc.
- The default format to convert between different encodings should be UTF-8=
 as it is now ubiquitous.
> [...] moreover in the case of strings accentuated in French and strings c=
ontaining emojis the process times are also improved (factor 7 to 8 by comp=
ared to UXStrings1=20
- I find quite astonishing to have a factor 8 compared to UTF-8 encoding. D=
o you have an explanation ? This looks like a poor implementation because U=
TF-8 encoding is fast and allows direct manipulation in most cases. Maybe b=
ecause random access is treated as sequential access for UTF-8 encoded stri=
ngs but this again is poor implementation.

Kind regards,

Vincent
