(and here a c-ignorant coder wonders why strings must have a defined max 
length .. is it because how malloc / sdna / something works - i thought they 
could just end to \n when they feel like it?, but guess that something needs 
to know the size

this seems to work ok in python: 
In [58]: longstr = 'I am a long string - ' * 1000000
In [59]: len(longstr)
Out[59]: 21000000

but that is of course irrelevant and you can just happily ignore me :)
