Kayne Ruse 8d6bdb88b4 Implemented and tested Toy_String, read more
Strings are needed for the handling of identifiers in the key/value
variable storage, so I've got them working first. I used the rope
pattern, which seems to be quite an interesting approach.

I'll add comparison checks later.

Adjusted how buckets are handled in all tests, could've been an issue
down the line.

Added the build instructions to README.md.

Toy v2.x

The Toy programming language is an imperative, bytecode-interpreted, embeddable scripting language. Rather than functioning independently, it serves as part of another program, the "host". This design allows for straightforward customization by both the hosts developer and end users, achieved by exposing program logic through text files.

This repository holds the reference implementation for Toy version 2.x, written in C.
