It's generally imported by folks who come from languages where strings *are* "arrays of characters" --- and where that model has a strong tendency to cause problems.

C and C++ are still struggling to understand that.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
