They claim it was a bug that they originally allowed it. I saw "string" as an array of non-NUL bytes, just like C and sure enough it worked that way. They knew I was using it that way from the code fragments that I sent from time to time over the last decade, but it didn't connect that I was using their string stuff in ways that didn't fit their (undocumented) model about how they thought it was used. So, they claim I was using a bug and I claim they changed the interface. It depends upon perspective. In any event, it is now broken and I am required to implement my own array-of-bytes code. Not today or any time soon. :( I'll try to make the official release in the next couple of days.
