If it's broken, fix it :-)

~10 do lots of simple string handling
~8 do lots of stdio
~7 do lots of array access
~2 do lots of objects 

Given the wider range of languages that are now included in the
shootout, it would be reasonable to look at what each of the tests are
doing and change the balance of functionality.

Are 10 string handling tests, 5 too many?
Is one static array test, 2 too few?
