Is the lack of support of cstring in PLs just laziness/ovelook or is 
there a good
reason why PL languages do not support cstring type arguments and return 
values ?

I'm currently adding this to pl/pythonu with an aim to prototype type io 
functions for a new type.

If it is just some security concern this could be alleviated by only 
allowing it in the untrusted languages.
