Re: bytevector-string-ref

[Vijay Marupudi]

The 2 copies occur if you want a portion of the bytevector to be
converted to a string. The current API requires you to copy to a
bytevector that's the length of the slice, and then convert that copy to
a string.

I've sent patches to guile-devel to address this issue (by extending
utf{8,16,32}->string) in the past, but those patches have not gotten any
attention yet.

Attaching them again here to (hopefully) revive them.
