+       Split large string section; add truncation advice
+       * manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove.
+       This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined
+       behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE.  Anyway, the manual
+       shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing.
+       * manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into
+       three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings,
+       and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long.  All
+       cross-referenced changed.  Add advice about string-truncation
+       functions.  Remove misleading strncat example.
