how will your [str] object handle an incoming gemlist?
If it's passed as a "string", a pointer to a block of bytes with a definite length, then it will process it the same way as any other block of bytes, perhaps not usefully.
how will a gem-object using your blobs handle an incoming "string"?
It would need to verify that the incoming "string" data was of the right kind. Possibly the first few bytes would be some kind of selector. The data is in bytes just the same as a file or stdin stream, so its meaning and format is up to the user. Martin
