nope.
that might be the case if documentation said char is byte and kixtart ignores that vartype, but as it does not say so, it should properly say what vartype it is.
no matter how fundamentally you would thing that it's only a byte.
then I could say string is list of bytes and thus should also return just a number.
but no, strings are not just null terminated byte lists.
the strings you see in kixtart actually do carry also the length information along with them and thus can carry null character inside them.
well, might be that kixtart itself is not coded that wise but it's com-interface surely works like that.
back to the start, even though the stuff is just bytes, so it's with each vartype.
it does not remove the fact they all are DIFFERENT vartypes.
no matter how long you repeat them being bytes, they are more than that.
