| Zesstra | 715ec20 | 2025-07-09 22:18:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | If the string is used by several variables/objects this |
| 10 | saves memory. Keys of alists and mappings are always shared |
| 11 | strings. |

| Zesstra | 715ec20 | 2025-07-09 22:18:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | In LDMud 3.3, this function is no longer necessary: strings |
| 14 | are shared as much as possible anyway, and the driver automatically |
| 15 | converts untabled strings into tabled strings after some time. |
