 GD> That will only work of you use

 JB> Here both behave in the same way, does the standard say otherwise?

 GD> OK, "123" needs 4 characters because of the terminating
null, '1', '2',
 GD> '3' just needs the 3 chars declared...

 GD> Hope that makes sense.

It makes sense ... until you realize that the standard says that _char
foo[3] = "123";_ will create a three character array consisting
of '1', '2', and '3' without the terminating nul.  :-)
