I have to ask, when is this useful?

Couldn't you have a function that returns the string length?

Don't worry. I'm sure some patent troll owns the "strlen" patent. They should receive a DMCA Takedown soon.

I'm sure they paid the royalties. Its the troll who owns the patent on a variable length sequence of characters they need to worry about... :lol:
