String data type in geometry nodes

Attributes in geometry nodes can have one of the several available data types such as integer, float, vector, color, etc. However, one missing data type is string .

The addition of this data type can largely benefit node setups, specially those centered around manipulating strings; either simplifying them greatly, or making currently impossible setups achievable.

I'm not sure. There is still no way of storing a string as an attribute.
