It is automatic, in the meaning you don't have to do anything to get it.
Realistically, how often do you override strlen? If I say "never", I
probably would be close enough for all practical purposes.

Why? We already have this working, why make it harder by requiring to do
specific things that we know upfront 99%+ people end up doing? Why not
assume them by default?
