Hi Yoshiki,
That's right, String would the abstract class, and ByteString a
subclass for string with 1-byte characters. I think the VW equivalent
of MultiString would be FourByteString, but they have quite a few other
string classes in the hierarchy. What about MultibyteString?
So the hierarchy would be:
String
ByteString
MultibyteString
