In fact having it as creation procedure will allow us to avoid
having to create the intermediary object `l_bytes'.

After looking at class UC_STRING, I'm wondering whether we should
just adapt the routines `make_from_string' and `make_from_substring'
so that we can pass a STRING_GENERAL. Perhaps we will have to
rename the version of `make_from_string' inherited from STRING.
Or add `make_from_string_general', `make_from_substring_general',
make `make_from_substring' obsolete (make it call
`make_from_substring_general') and modify `make_from_string'
to call `make_from_string_general'. I'm not sure what the best
naming convention is.
