Here’s the correct way to write this:

    ASSERT(m_length >= length);
    ASSERT(m_length >= position + length);

    if (is8Bit())
        return AtomicString(characters8() + position, length);
    return AtomicString(characters16() + position, length);

There is no reason to call StringImpl::create, and in fact that costs memory allocation and deallocation when the string already exists in the atomic string table.

Like the old code, this does unnecessary memory allocation, so you should do what I suggested instead.

Isn't that implicit below?
