I've recently needed to read files from buffers rather than files (streamed from file selection pickers). I've opened up a Pull Request with a quick fix allowing a buffer override:...

Rename `String::copy_from` functions to their respective encodings (`parse_latin1`, `parse_wstring`, `parse_utf32`).

This PR adds move assignment and move constructors to `Variant`. With them, slightly faster code can be generated when working with variants, especially in cases of generated code from macros...

Rename `List` -> `LinkedList`, with a `List` alias pointing to `LinkedList`.

This is a small refactor to get rid of 3 uses of `String(ptr, len)` (which I'm planning to delete entirely, because it's inefficient). I also make `String::chr` inlineable because the...

This leads to performance optimizations across `substr`, `count`, `left` and `right` (and their hundreds of callers). ## Discussion `copy_from_unchecked` previously did explicit UTF-32 integrity checks. It is used in only...

Remove `StringName` table, instead just store `hash` in `StringName`
