Well, we should really ask Benjamin...

Some time ago, in private mail he alluded to some troubles with memory leaks and static allocation of strings, which led him to resort to C strings (std::strings were in fact used, in the first implementation!). If you browse a bit the repository you will learn, I think, that this happened exactly when Benjamin started to systematically fight memory leaks with Valgrind.

Benjamin?

Ciao, Paolo.
