--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
If I understand correctly, that would require doing two passes over the const
char* argument, one to find its length and another (when the lengths are equal)
to compare each character. That would be beneficial sometimes, and not other
times.
