Then you'd trip over the 'are characters signed or unsigned?'  
confusion that reigned for a few years.

And in times when memory was tighter it /was/ nice to be able to write

const char *strip_z(const char *s) {
    while (*s == '0') { s++; }
    return s;
}

which you can't do if you have a counted string. Pretty anachronistic  
now though.
