DS> =head2 Intger data types
^^^^^^
DS> Perl has a single internal string form:
DS> struct perl_string {
DS> void *string_buffer;
DS> UV allocated;
DS> UV byte_length;
DS> UV flags;
DS> UV character_length;
DS> UV encoding;
DS> UV type;
DS> UV unused;
DS> }
what about starting offset? that is used now to shorten a string from
the left side.
