Problem is `@ember/string` is deprecated it appears after Ember 4.x? I can’t see this package in Ember 5.x … so this would just be a bandaid until Discourse rapidly moves into 5.x (which David alluded to here: [Upgrading Discourse to Ember 4 - #14 by david](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upgrading-discourse-to-ember-4/225032/14))

@David what’s the right call here - use native Javascript (like I have)?
