strings

[Tom Neff]

The major problem with using anything other than \0-terminated
strings in C is that you give up the easy ability to define
string constants a la "/etc/passwd".  Standard C compilers will
create a \0-terminated string for these, regardless of what
your home-made string utilities prefer.
