Re: [python][patch] Preserve string length, and embedded-nulls in pretty-print string emission.

Oops, I hit send too soon on that last note.
This is the same, but with more comments.

This needs an 'else' case to call gdbpy_print_stack.

Also, why the '+ 1' in the computation of 'len'?
Won't this make LA_PRINT_STRING print one too many bytes?

'replacement' cannot be NULL here.
You want '*replacement'.

Here you do want to copy size+1 bytes, but...

Phil> +      LA_PRINT_STRING (stb, thevalue, len, 1, 0, &opts);

... here I think you wan to just print size bytes.
