Making the point. C is not a language for convenient canned solutions. But I'm not too sad about that. There are a myriad ways of doing strings, and most high-level programming languages are still stuck in the 90s with UCS-2 encodings or such, and offering only solutions that don't scale well for, say, dozens of megabytes of strings. C isn't stuck, at the cost of convenience.
