Comment:

 I talked briefly with komlo about the `Stringlist` thing and it seems like
 she wanted to do the simpler thing of a smartlist of strings because doing
 the generic thing correctly might take significantly more work and not
 necessarily be right on the first try.

 I would be in favor of a ticket for a longer term plan to try to get the
 generic Rust representation of a smartlist right.  I don't have enough
 background to open a ticket myself on the issue.  (Also sorry if I
 misremember the details of what komlo told me.)
