With this definition every language support string. For example assembly
language do have string. I'm sorry to insist but "char *" is a pointer not a
string. Ok, C++ has a string class, and this could have been done with
assembly macro, will you say that x86-asm has strings ?

Anyway this is not an important issue :) Just that I have spent too much time
debuging programs with C strings...

Pascal.
