Jean Thierry-Mieg reminds me that the advantage of
Text over ?Text is one of RAM usage. Each ?Text
object is read into memory on startup which uses
the length of the string plus 12 bytes overhead.
Additionally, if there are many references to
an existing ?Text object (more than 1000) it
can create problems for ACEDB.
