It is convenient that a StringId can be used as an integer and also be rendered as a string. However, in many cases it is simpler and more efficient to have a sequence that can be used for lookup into an array or in a switch statement. This is particularly useful for StringIds generated by the config module. Sequences cannot be used everywhere, though. In some cases StringIds are generated from text stored in files (e.g. compress type) in which case it is not possible to add sequence info without additional complexity.
