Of course. However, I am still waiting to see any implementation of
the proposed function which is neither dangerous (Denial of Service by
feeding a string which is too long) nor inefficient (relying on stack
checks is definitely inefficient), and works without heavy
modifications to compilers (I do not think it is worth adding extra
complexity - and bugs - to the compiler for a convenience function
that can be written easily by the user).
