Modula-2 of course had no special string type, but instead used (open?) arrays with zero origin.

And Miele Modula 2 for  OS/9  (realtime Unix) had not even one library for strings.
The very simple routines  like insert, delete , concat you had to do on your own.

Not such a big support for Modula 2.

And having to check for both an index being within bounds and the current character not being zero is painful (particularly with people saying that break/continue/exit are tantamount to goto so must be cast out)... although I wish more C programs took the trouble to do so.
