Singles seeds
gollark: See, I would never do this, because I would just hardcode the length of all strings in my code.
gollark: Combining the O(n) time complexities of null-terminated strings with the... I don't know, nonsliceability? of length-prefixed strings and adding fun new things, length-terminated strings.
gollark: gollarC™ also features my innovative length-terminated strings.
gollark: You have to pass other ones for pointer arithmetic and such.
gollark: Actually, #2 would be hard, so "memory safety enforced via disabling pointers unless you pass a pointer aptitude test".
