When (if) you do get to that, you might find it helpful to look at  
Peter Hosey's AIWiredString he wrote for Adium, which produces a  
string object backed by wired memory that is never cached to disk.   
It's in objective-c, but the backing is an array of C characters, so  
it might still be helpful.
