Comment:

 When I wrote the library I carefully investigated doing this but concluded
 it was a bad idea.

 Basically if I do this I have to pass back a dynamically allocates string.
 But such an allocation might well trigger secondary effects which totally
 confuse things. It would make the package bigger for everyone. And
 finally it was an extra layer of work - and it wasn't worth it.

 So I'm not going to do this.
