It is not something I wan't specifically to do for the dialog framework.

We need a FastString wherever we need some UTF-8 char* that is not
modified after construction. That use case there is typical, but not the
only one.

This will take part in by string re-work I plan to do a little bit
later. We currently have 3 or 4 different string classes that don't
inherit from the same base class, which is bad.

I'm not sure I'll have time to do it completely for 2.4.
