It is an error to try to write off the beginning of the string (i.e. negative OFFSET). +The string must not contain any character with value > 255 (which +can only happen if you're using UTF8 encoding). + Strings created with C<vec> can also be manipulated with the logical operators C<|>, C<&>, C<^>, and C<~>.
