It seems like a safe guard for buffer* having '\0' in it (obviously,
i know you knew that).
To me it seems like an issue, because char* uses '\0' to denote the
end of the string,
but perhaps writing a buffer or multiple strings in the same buffer
was causing problems with
the strings stopping at string 1, so this was added because the
supplied length is explicit.
ie : it _allows_ you to write strings contiguous in memory provided
you know how long they are combined (including the zero-termination
for each).
Perhaps it's a neat trick for performance reasons?
Im curious - does it impact performance at all?
Or does it break a normal char* by changing its terminator to a space?
