--- Comment #10 from Eike Rathke <er...@redhat.com> ---
(In reply to ady from comment #9)
> * In this context, is "1024 characters" the same as "1024 bytes"?
No. It should be 1024 characters (that detail slipped my attention when I took
a look), or to be precise 1024 UTF-16 code points (though users probably
wouldn't know what that is), which can be less than 1024 characters if
surrogates are used.
> For the Interpreter, it now says 256MB in size. Is the "256MB" accurate?
Well it's max signed int32 / 8 so 2147483647/8 that is 268435455
(268435455.875) so 255.999999046326MiB ...

Because it would result in 1000000000 (100000000*"1234567890") characters.

It's greater than 256M characters.

Yes.
I'll change the slightly confusing bytes vs characters and 256MB (it's not
bytes either) wording.
