These are easy because they really want to have strings, and so all
that's needed is to remove the kludges.

I'm afraid that I can't promise to work on this soon; Real Life is
taking its toll.  But it's now on my todo list.

And then, of course, it's quite possible that Michael Albinus will be
faster than me.  He's always been in the past couple of months.  Kudos
to Michael.
