'new_from_string' is widely used by .const, for example :
.const .String key_print = "print"
That's the one case I consider a valid use of 'new_from_string',
actually creating a string constant during initialization. Other hackery
has been piled on top of the featu

Probably would be better as a literal key than a string that has to be
parsed.

The FixedIntegerArray is an example of where 'new_from_string' is used.
'new_i_s' was experimental and can die. Any PMC's using the behavior can
instead pass a hash argument to 'new'.
