C is not a language to do string processing in. C is designed to 
be efficient for SYSTEMS programming. Do we really want
garbage collection in the language used for the kernal of the operating 
system? Sounds pretty silly to me. If you want to program in Lisp, program
in Lisp. Don't expect C to provide you with a Lisp environment.
