I'd get annoyed writing it over and over again. But unless you are
using GString as your string type (which I think is wrong), it
strikes me as quite rare.
Yes; that's
As promised earlier, here's a patch with some new functions for GString.
I'll split them up with related changes, so this is just the first of a
sequence.
There's 3 functions added here, g_string_clone, g_string_new_lenz, and
g_string_slice. Each is a constructor, to return a new GString object.

GStrings are already guaranteed to have a nul terminating byte, aren't

Ah; yes, in fact, they are. I had thought they weren't, in the case of
calling g_string_new_len(), because I tried it one time and found a bug.
I'd just

Not entirely certain I like this. See below.
GStringList* g_string_split(GString *str, gchar c);
Seems to me this should return a gchar** a-la g_strsplit(). Whether or
not this is more useful may depend on

At a high-level, I think there is a question of what GString is -
should there be GString versions of everything you want to do
with a char *?
My opinion is no ... a GString is the equivalent of a Java
StringBuffer .. it is a useful way to build and work with strings,
but it isn't *a string*.

I take that back. I can always use g_strsplit() on the

EIther way, you would have another type out: GStringList would be a
G(S)List of GString; you would have to use:
GSList *iter; /* or GList *iter; */

Which would do most of the work of g_string_new() and g_string_free()

That said, I don't see why we need a new split function, on reflection.
Maybe a:
GString** g_string_new_strv(gchar** a);
would be useful; it would return a NULL-terminated array of new
GString*s, each one wrapping a string

At least in my sources, and where they draw inspiration from there is
a larger precedence for the suffix _dup, rather than _clone.
g_string_dup() also works, yes.. I'm not overly attached to the name.
Thoughts anyone?

Actually, it occurs to me. If we wanted to give certain future
guarantees about GString, we could do something like the following:
#define
