But you can't just define a null-terminated string in a fixed
length area of memory and use it as a variable. You have to go to
all the overhead associated with variable length memory areas.

I didn't explain the fixed-length bit properly. I guess that's what
I was hoping MAXLEN would do. Unfortunately not.
