Aren't Strings objects? If they are, it's my soapbox subject again, the old AnyObjectType->Byte Ptr implicit conversion in functions, even in SuperStrict. I still *really* think it's wrong to allow implicit type conversions like this in SuperStrict. Even more so when you apparently can't even do it explicitly. I thought the whole point of SuperStrict was to force the programmer to be explicit.
