I'm new to Guile.  I don't know why shared strings were removed from
Guile, but things were probably simplified greatly by this decision.
I think that it is very useful to zero terminate all strings since
embedding and extending Guile becomes easier.

It seems that you'll have to stick to Thien-Thi Nguyen's Guile
version, available at http://www.glug.org/, if you need shared
strings.
