Now PHP strings make sense. From wiki, PHP first appeared on June 8, 
1995, 27 years ago. In the time of single byte for a character. Hi, C 
byte buffers with NULL byte at the end.

Is it too harsh to say that PHP is a Fortran of our time? (a) It has 
unpatchable quirks for compatibility sake. (b) It has tone of code 
written that needs maintenance.
