Allow NUL in strings #644

Open amosr opened 6 years ago

We're using C-strings, which are null terminated. Some input data contains nulls, eg 'monkey\0barge'. Maybe we should use length-prefixed strings instead. Since we only support one string operation right now (strcmp), it would be best to fix this before adding any fancy string operations.
