Do you mean that, for example, if we have the string `"a"`, then instead of: +--------+ |a0000000| +--------+ | []/0 | +--------+ we can "align" it so that only the...

As I understand it, as soon as `0` is encountered, the string is found to be terminated. Does the position within the cell make this more efficient? Intuitively, I expect...

Attempting to answer my own question, it seems that yes, we can indeed do something with the available space at the start, but indeed only if we do not "pad"...

I summarize the issue as I understand it: 1) What follows after `0` in the final cell of a string does not matter; in an extreme scenario, even another (short)...
