These new types allow for arbitrary properties to be attached to regions of an AbstractString or AbstractChar. The most common expected use of this is for styled content, where the styling is attached as special properties. This has the major benefit of separating styling from content, allowing both to be treated better — functions that operate on the content won't need variants that work around styling, and operations that interact with the styling will have many less edge cases (e.g. printing a substring and having to work around unterminated ANSI styling codes). Other use cases are also enabled by this, such as text links and the preserving of line information in string processing.
