After replacing all operators, I think your suggestion is great.

I already implement assign() and equals(). The operator= operator== and

operator+= methods are non-virtual inline wrappers that call those

virtual functions, and are provided for user convenience only. I care

more about the usability of the class to C++ programmers than that

someone would have to tell SWIG to ignore them.

operator[] is not currently implemented in that fashion, but I am

willing to do that too (although I don't like your name so I will

probably change it).

This conversation reminds me that I was also thinking about creating an

implementation that wraps a std::string.
