/*----- Rationale ---------------------------------------------------------*
 *
 * This file declares what is hopefully a fairly useful collection of
 * primitive string handling functions.  The idea is that the strings
 * allocate memory for themselves as required.  The @dstr@ routines don't
 * assume any sort of terminator character, so arbitrary binary data can
 * be stored in a dynamic string.  With luck, this should put a stop to
 * any buffer overflow problems.
