Yes. I strongly encourage you to use only String, not char*. Using
const objects and references, manipulating String instead of char* is
much safer and only occupies 4-8 bytes in addition to the string (length +
pre-allocate). Since it often saves unecessary strlen you may even win
performances.
A tempting but long taks would be to eliminate completely char* from
htdig, except for library calls. Encapsulate all str* functions in the
String class. And this will prepare the ground for Unicode ... maybe.
