What is the recommended way to copy a string without properties? I've
tried:

(concat str)
(format "%s" str)
(copy-sequence str)
(substring str 0)

and even (in a moment of desperation)

(apply #'concat (split-string str ""))

without success.

                                                           /L/e/k/t/u
