"more complicated" /= longer
Actually the C version is quite a bit more complex, because of
the rather peculiar rules about whether string pointers are
or are not constants, and about the issue of whether
"abc" == "abc" (in general of course the answer in C is no)
It looks simpler, but that can hide a lot of sins :-)
