the api for opcodes needs review, especially with regard to the response to exceptional behavior. for example, the documentation for B<length> in src/ops/string.ops reads: =item B<length>(out INT, in STR) Set result $1 to the length (in characters) of string $2. If $2 is NULL or zero length, zero is returned. however, if a null string is passed in to length, the user should get some notification of an exceptional condition. *at least* a warning, and possibly a fatal exception. ~jerry
