Too cute, in my opinion. Use English. :) C novices struggle with pointer arithmetic as it is. (Even non-novices can, when working with exotic architectures with multiple memory models like the x86's historical--and thankfully near-forgotten--`near` and `far`. Pointer arithmetic in the former can, if my vague recollection is correct, do surprising stuff like wrap around a 64 KiB memory segment without causing a fault.) I assume that the string library reforms you're pursuing are intended in part to be adopted by newcomers to C. Avoiding cleverness when presenting new interfaces can make them less scary.
