that's in signal bindings. :)

i've never seen the problem with strings - i just avoid them like the plague.
yes the unix world loves its strings and everything must be a string (text
file) or you will be damned to hell, but... bah - i just avoid them by design.
eg edje files are binary. config files are binary. there's a while library to
deal with that for you and make it fast, efficient and convenient. no string
parsing needed.  :)
