Add length column to Strings view

[galenbwill]

What is the feature you'd like to have? The Strings view should have a Length column to allow sorting strings by length.

Additional Information: I've already started implementing this in a branch in the main repo of the same name as this one:

What does "length" mean? Bytes or characters?

[galenbwill]

~~Both!~~

It means characters, iirc. It's the length of the string, not its size in memory. (Otherwise it'd be "Size" or "Bytes"... would that be more useful, or in addition?)

[fuzyll]

Either answer is fine, "both" is the only wrong one! 😛 I agree with "length" counting characters, and I don't want to scope creep you by asking for a separate "size" column (although, I'm confident there's a use-case for it). I just wanted to make sure we were considering different encodings. We should probably document what "length" means explicitly, though, since it's a valid question to ask.
