That does not seem to do what I want to do.

Maybe I'm missing something with the type inference system or the API.
Here is an example of what I would like to do:

(unsigned-byte-ref "hello world")

or:

(define hello "Hello, world.")
(unsigned-byte-ref hello)

Which doesn't work.

(Note that I don't have access to malloc and friends so I can't use the
'make-string' API, AFAIK.)

Thanks and all the best,
