[Oberon] Python vs oberon: requirements to store 1 byte in memory

[oberon-eth at email.cz]

Are you sure? When you have one long string than certainly you are right.

But what if you allocate one hundred of strings of length say 10 bytes?

total consumed size: 100 x 60 ???

(python does not have CHAR, I know)

OTOH, the overhead seems to be a constant 49 bytes, 
so the ratio gets better with longer strings, and 
approaches 1 in Zdenek's 1GB example... ;-)
