You might want to look into using `Arc<str>`. It's an immutable string slice that can have many owners and will be dropped once the last one is done with it.

Thanks, I will try that - fearing my code is littered with Arc ;-) - but sarcasm aside, thanks.

I usually just have a `type Text = std::sync::Arc<str>` at the root, specifically during prototyping :)

How does this differ from just sharing &str?

[phaylon]

A `&str` is a borrow of the string slice data, and has borrowing semantics. An `std::sync::Arc<str>` on the other hand isn't borrowed but has shared ownership and is atomically reference counted.

Does that answer the question? Could you expand on what you mean by sharing `&str`?
