-[NSString UTF8String]
(or the equivalentNSString::as_str
) is used several times in our implementation, but when transitioning to #563, we must ensure that this usage is still sound even if the string is interior mutable.Luckily, Foundation already ensures this for us by checking if the string is mutable in the implementation of
UTF8String
(and does so since macOS 10.6, I checked by downloading and disassembling the old binaries), so we needn't worry here.
