They're using the mobile compiler as an opportunity to break backwards
compatibility and push the language in the directions they want to go.
A single, 0-based string type, automatic reference counting, no "with",
etc.  Apparently the developers they're chasing after are too stupid to
know how to deal with more than one string type.
