See, that's why I think it can lead to subtle bugs: it copies 'ab\0'.
It's even harder to spot when you see code like this:
local cdata = ffi.new('unsigned char[?]', #s, s)
which instead should be:
local cdata = ffi.new('unsigned char[?]', #s+1, s)
The behavior is documented, just IMHO a bit inconsistent.
