Note that there is very little in the C core language that mandates
null-terminated strings (literals have a null character after them
and that's it). Really this convention is embodied in the library
routines, and of course it would be trivial to write a similar set
of routines in Ada for Ada use, and indeed even simpler, you can just
write a simple set of pragma import's and call the C routines directly.
