value.description
is direct initialization of a String with the same contents. It will be faster in the future than trying to do it yourself, as StaticString can poke at String's innards.Currently, it will encode a single scalar as UTF-8 prior to initialization, and then allocate storage on the heap to store it. We could try to skip that transcoding temporarily, however, I'm about to land small strings and plan on supporting UTF-8 in them. In this case, we still want to encode as UTF-8 there, so we'd do a encoding anyways and skip the heap allocation. This will be better than what this code was doing before: before, even a single scalar gets a heap allocation.
It is equivalent for non-scalar StaticString.

Okay, sounds reasonable, then!
