New description:
strings are stored in PIRC as c-strings, just arrays of bytes. I should
get rid of my stubbornness, and just convert c-strings immediately to
STRINGs in the lexer.
(It might even simplify some code)
This is necessary as PIRC needs some functionality that only deals with
(or returns) STRINGs, not char *.
