I've had to give this advice to others as well, having figured it out the hard 
way ...

The reason the question comes up is that VARCHAR is typically just that: 
VARiable-length CHARacter.  Every other db I've dealt with allocates variable 
length storage for VARCHAR types: any chance of InstantDB getting a bit more 
standard in this regard in the future?

Regards,
Liam Graham
