Yes, though ansistrings may contain #0's.
Interesting, how will a cast handle this case?
Will it change the intermediate #0 to something else or will the
resulting pchars be cut at first occurrence?
You just get a pointer to the string data as-is, without any
substitutions or pointer juggling. If whatever you pass the data to
interprets #0 as the end of the string, it will see that embedded #0
as the end of the string.
