yes but the counted length string must be just before the string<br>
<br>
with ?X syntax you can use a length which can be stored wherever<br>
you want (before the string yet)<br>

The p format does seem to have rather curious semantics; I would
have thought the 'least surprising' thing would be for it to take a string
and store it as a counted length string.
'B?(1)c' looks like ugly syntax though. What about *p for an implied
length byte-counted string?
