Safe functions

This is amazing. Still not using strncpy() or strcpy_s()? Or even better: std::string? (Although that would require broadening one's horizons...) Shouldn't it be a compile-time error by this time to use such archaic unsafe functions?

(Mutter, mutter, mutter ... some people still driving ox carts in the space age....)
