Tobias,

There is no need - I have finally become completely tired of these
bugs coming every few months and want to do a spring clean.  I am
working on a one-stop character length resolution function and a
one-stop character length conversion function.  I don't know yet how
many lines of code are going to disappear but it must be many
hundreds.  Two other PRs have already fallen in this process.

Cheers

Paul
