Interesting. flex_string does have a fixed size policy - one that is 
buggy for strings with size greater than 254 :o).

So yes, I'd say, if there is a fixed string being submitted, why not 
complement (or actually bundle) with that a design that allows a variety 
of strings, including fixed.

Limited time is always an issue to me, but if anyone wants to take the 
initiative of writing the docs, I would be glad to help with bugs and 
discussion for improvements. I've added Reece to the recipient list. On 
the other hand, I'd totally understand if he wouldn't care for the 
aggravation; heck, if I wrote a lib, I'd be glad to see it in and be 
done with it :o). On a yet another hand, I think flex_string would add 
value to the submission.
