Mutable strings

The `string-set!` procedure provided by the `(rnrs mutable-strings (6))`library allows mutating the characters of a string in-place.

`(string-set! string k char)` procedure

K must be a valid index of string. The `string-set!` procedure stores char in element

k of string and returns unspecified values.

Passing an immutable string to `string-set!` should cause an exception with condition type `&assertion` to be raised.

`(define (f) (make-string 3 `#``\`*))
(define (g) "***")
(string-set! (f) 0 `#``\`?) ⇒ unspecified
(string-set! (g) 0 `#``\`?) ⇒ unspecified
; should raise `&assertion` exception
(string-set! (symbol->string ’immutable)
0
`#``\`?) ⇒ unspecified
; should raise `&assertion` exception

`

> Note: Implementors should make `string-set!` run in constant time.

`(string-fill! string char)` procedure

Stores char in every element of the given string and returns unspecified values.
