	Just watch out for stuff that might get built on the stack(s).
Preallocate the buffers statically, and use direct assignments to the
contents...

	A language like Python, OTOH, has no hope for this; strings are
immutable, so any modification to a string really allocates a new string
somewhere in memory, puts the changed data into it, and may (depending on
the code) then mark the old string for garbage collection -- no way to get
to it again.
