Technically you're right. Yet I think it's pretty widespread that a sole

I think it's pretty widespread that you shouldn't be using zero-terminated
strings ;)
But I suppose it makes sense that to can convert from a char[] to a char

should be discouraged, however, in favor of doing toUTFz which is more
descriptive as a function name.
