Good evening,

Why should I use GooString instead of std::string?

I've been very careful so far with my patches to only using GooString.
But I was wondering if there is a specific added feature set (i.e.
UTF16) which can only be achieved with your custom GooString library.

Thanks for all information,

Alec Taylor
