If the parameter is really not const, i.e. the function may mutate the argument, then the cast is not ok. You can use `.dup.ptr` instead to get a proper char* from a string.
As this is going to be passed to a C function, it would need to be zero-terminated. `.dup` doesn't do this, he'd have to use `std.string.toStringz` instead. However, that function returns a `immutable(char)*`, which would have to be cast again :-(
