Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickm]:
 > nack here; we want to use char* instead of uint8_t* in ''fewer'' places,
 not more.  In particular, we want char* to mean approximately "nul-
 terminated string" and uint8_t* to mean "a bunch of bytes".
 In that case several struct fields need their type changed to reflect this
 policy. Should i submit a ticket for this?
