Bobby says

<<Are the above simply features of this implementation that I'll have to
deal with, or is there some trick I need to know about?  (Does the logic
for handling bounded strings really require so much object space?)

Admittedly, minimizing code size is not part of my prime directive, but
I find this quite surprising and even a bit alarming, so I would
appreciate any comments anyone cares to make on it.>>


>From this it does sound as though you are confusing size of the object
file with size of the executable program -- quite a significant
confusion. Strip the symbols out if you do not need them!
