Except, by "FT_NSTRING", I meant a string that has an initial byte that represents
the length. But I believe Guy is working on a solution. So, we'll have:

A string class that correlates to a C string... NUL-terminated.
A string class with a predetermined length (for your dissector)
A string class with a prefixed length byte (I'm sure some dissector needs it).
