C strings suck!

[utzoo!watmath!watarts!geo]

I am following up a followup here, as the original article,
"C strings suck!" doesn't seem to have made it to our site.
I don't know quite what the objectors objections were to C
strings, but last June rusty at sdcarl submitted a bunch of functions to 
net.sources that allowed one to handle strings in a PL/1ish
manner.  It was interesting, you might want to take a look at it.
