I'm actually starting to think that this may be a good use case for
views of strings i.e. rather than create 3 new strings, each "string" is
a view onto the string that was partitioned.

Most of the use cases I've seen, the partitioned bits are discarded
almost as soon as the original string, and often the original string
persists beyond the partitioned bits.
