Embedded gives even less incentive for bounded strings due to their poor 
memory footprint and performance loss caused by algorithm based on 
assigning strings. If you don't assign strings you don't need 
bounded-length ones. For accumulators in embedded I am customary use a 
stream backed by a String.
