Notes
  1. Jaques 2007, p. 5.
gollark: Isn't that more for static-ish sites?
gollark: I consider stuff a vector/resizable array instead of just an array if it's a length (and maybe capacity) plus a pointer to some data.
gollark: That's probably one of the nice times when it won't be as bad, then.
gollark: Then you get the *fun* and *excitement* of dealing with buffer overflow issues.
gollark: If it was an actual char vector thingy, it would not be null terminated.
