This is absolute rubbish.  If I want character arrays without a terminating
null byte then I'm quite entitled to do that.  In fact, I *have* to do that as
I'm writing interface routines for ADA.  "strnlen" is to "strlen" as "strncmp"
is to "strcmp".  I've written the routine myself now, but I just think that it
should be part of the standard library, that's all.
