> For security and reliability, Lucy eschews C-style NULL-terminated strings
> except when absolutely necessary, favoring CharBuf objects instead.  However,
> we would prefer to keep structs opaque and to use stack memory instead of heap
> memory for small string values.  Furthermore, we would like to use object
> pointers consistently rather than object structs.
> These ends can be achieved by deploying the the non-standard but widely
> available stack memory allocator alloca().
