Well efficency isn't my biggest concern, I fear the deallocation which
may produce memory leaks.

Not embedded systems but message handling systems for air traffic
control which are designed for 99,995% availability. This means
rebooting maximum once a year, not twice a day like with M$-Windows.
So, does anybody know more details about unbounded_strings? How does it
work? Does it recycle deallocated memory by 100%? If not I'll better
stay away from it.
