Description
This was previously attempted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/19612, but since https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45225 some of the issues are no longer relevant, so it may be feasible to try this again.
See also Make bool an enum.

Research direction
Start by reading the earlier rust-lang/rust pull request #19612 and the linked RFC issue about making bool an enum. Determine which previously identified issues are addressed by pull request #45225 and define the remaining design and implementation scope for representing str as struct str([u8]). Done requires a resolved, actionable RFC proposal rather than only a feasibility question.
