I do understand. I imagine that it could work a little bit like unsigned: a modifier to integer types that tells that an integer's MSB is not to be used as a sign bit. __nonstring__ tells that the last byte of a byte sequence doesn't need to be NUL. I would find it sensible allowing putting the attribute to a type, but whatever.

But that doesn't make any difference in the way you have to address existing `char arr[4] = "abcd"` declarations.

  True. This would be only useful in typedefs. An API could declare some byte arrays not strings. But again, whatever.
