But what about this code and its commentary (from
next_element_from_c_string):
/* IT's position can be greater IT->string_nchars in case a field
width or precision has been specified when the iterator was
initialized. */
if (IT_CHARPOS (*it) >= it->end_charpos)
{
/* End of the game. */
...
This happens when the iterator is initialized by reseat_to_string.
Admittedly, it's not very practical to have such huge strings that are
padded to an even larger width...
