/*
 * C Doesn't define any standard string structure, so we'll make a simple one of
 * our own. This string struct currently only support ascii character strings,
 * so names using international characters currently won't work correctly.
 *
 * Name strings are arbitrarily capped at a length of 255, as that should fit
 * almost all reasonable names. The 256th value is reserved for the null byte.
 * In the off chance that this struct is ever initiated with a string larger
 * than 255 characters, the string shall be truncated to make room for the null
 * byte.
