Strictly, I think the answer is that it is not necessary. The output of the
uncompress may be a string, which could be passed to one of the str*
functions by a downstream call. AFAICT, this is not the case, and the code
should work without it, but it's probably safer in the long run to leave it
there. If you have strong feelings about removing it, I'll have a closer
look at the code, but my guess is that it was just me being paranoid (and
stuffing up).
