Hm, what about an existing code which relies on aset'table strings? Questions
like http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-04/msg00378.html shows
that treating string as an array of characters is a common practice (which is
"natural" for the people with C background). And, in case of large strings,
in-place reverse may save a lot of memory.
