[issue29328] struct module should support variable-length strings

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

To add a bit to what Yury said, even framing isn't always compatible with this proposal.  For example, in dask/distributed, we first have a word for the number of frames, then one word per frame to indicate each frame's length, then the frame bodies.
