This is similar to Java.

It advantages are (as told) better usage of memory when sharing =
strings.
This will be even better, if you do things like copy on demand, when =
you
assign a String to a StringBuffer. While not always apropiate (higher
memory usage for single object) it is certainly a valuable addition.

Two notes:
The Oberon implemenatation may be a little bit more clupsy. Please use
LONGINT for all nummercial parameters (position, length) and not
INTEGER as Strings does.
