172	get rid of C-strings for STRING_TYPE constants in PIRC	kjs	kjs	"


strings are stored in PIRC as c-strings, just arrays of bytes. I should get rid of my stubbornness, and just convert c-strings immediately to STRINGs in the lexer.

(It might even simplify some code)

This is necessary as PIRC needs some functionality that only deals with (or returns) STRINGs, not char *."	todo	closed	normal		pirc		medium	wontfix	c-string, STRING
