    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Even though the elements all have the same length, saving a sq_string to text
format causes every element to get its own length:

octave:1> a = ['hi';'bye';'whatever'];
octave:2> save -text /dev/stdout
# name: a
# type: sq_string
# elements: 3
# length: 8
hi      
# length: 8
bye     
# length: 8
whatever


octave:3>
