/STRING

I just got stung by a bug caused by calling /STRING with a value greater
then the string length. Seems to me that /STRING ought to check for that
and not return a string length <0.

On the other hand I can see how someone might expect that behavior and
use /STRING for something other then strings.

Just wondering what other folks thought.
