The applications that really can't afford the size_t can of course still
use the zero terminated strings, I don't think those will be removed
from the standard in the near future
I'ts not only about the memory hitt, it's about the performance hit of
keeping the length updated for all the cases when you really don't need
to.
A others have sai, by all means make a string library, but don't make it
part of the standard. If you need a "C like" language with safer strings
then use you could use C++ and sstd::string but not using all the other
features, there's a string library ready for you right there..
