We probably should anyway. By eyeball just now, I noticed it slings expressions like "reslen + itemlen + seplen" and "sz*2" without worrying about integer overflow. stringjoin() is careful about such stuff; sooner or later, shortcuts of this nature turn into bug reports

Sounds like an excellent project for Nick. Too bad I had just convinced him it was a can of worms ;-)
