Sorry, I was not clear enough. My "guess" was intended as a
clarification question, to see whether I understood the goal of this
pull request.

Marc,

The pull request was intended at introducing a better class structure for the string handling classes and to make the functions accessible via single $GLOBALS['PMA_String'] object, compared to $GLOBALS['PMA_String'], $GLOBALS['PMA_StringType'] variables and PMA_STR_ prefixed functions, which was the case earlier.

Indeed, by porting remaining places to use $GLOBALS['PMA_String'] we can benefit from the advantages you mentioned.
