Cord

A value comprised of a sequence of characters.

This type exists to differentiate between between a plain string of characters (which is modified by complete replacement) and a sequence of characters stored and synchronized as a CRDT (which is is modified by insertions and deletions).

Its use includes the value property of the Text type and the code property of CodeExecutable nodes.
