My first thought when I saw [[String Byte Length]] and [[String Character Length]] merged was, "Oh no, we've been through this." But I see that each language is subsected for byte and character length, so this might actually be an improvement; It should be more obvious to passing contributors that there is a distinction. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 16:48, 20 January 2008 (MST) |

byte/character separation
My first thought when I saw String Byte Length and String Character Length merged was, "Oh no, we've been through this." But I see that each language is subsected for byte and character length, so this might actually be an improvement; It should be more obvious to passing contributors that there is a distinction. --Short Circuit 16:48, 20 January 2008 (MST)
Lua why not
