Parsing null terminated strings in a binary.

[Mats Cronqvist]

   sorry to keep harping on this...
   ...but would it be (noticably) faster to move the call to size/1 outside the loop?
   or equivalently, how fast is size/1 (compared to the binary match)?
   i would guess plenty fast but i'm too lazy to try it.
