// *** We put theStr pointer for new Str objects outside the loop!  Otherwise
  // the objects get automatically deleted by the ingenious C++ mechanism that 
  // removes them as execution leaves the scope.  Try putting this 'Str* pStr' 
  // inside the loop below and see what happens.

  // Try creating the Str object 
  // the same way the Uint objects are created.  That doesn't work either.
  // [Same reason but more subtle.  In fact they are deleted immediately, even 
  // before the next one is created if you do it the way the Uints are done.
  // Interesting, no?  (Ick!)]
