I haven't done an audit, but it has been a working assumption
in the code.  There's not much motivation in fixing it because
the FFI depends on it, and it's the FFI and close C integration
which is Chibi's raison d'ĂȘtre.

[For the record, I consider the C string model broken, but C
isn't going anywhere.]

This is not necessarily an argument to not require #\0 in strings
in R7RS-large, since this is a limitation of a specialized
implementation which doesn't necessarily aim for large lang
compatibility.  But it's misleading to suggest that this is already
a de facto standard when it isn't.
