OK, yours example doesn't work, incorrect example. :b

The next EU weapon is just old good EU ;)

I'd just copy/paste something billion times,
then correct code, maybe, I do not know,
I have no problem with length(s), I just use
that clear construct - s[length(s)].

These all examples show what a powerful and
flexible language EU is. 
Rob uses C to implement almost the same thing,
and it is not a trivial job, he says.
