This is kind of off-topic, and I don't know if it's just me, but I've
barely been able to use toStringz() where it's supposed to be useful:
I tried using it with a C function whose parameters are not
const(char)*, but just char*, but because it returns immutable(char)'s I
had to write my own one.
I tried using it with a C function that's unicode, but it won't take
wstring's as arguments... so I had to write my own one.
Maybe it's because I'm not really experienced with interfacing to C code
from D, or maybe it's because I couldn't write the extern(C) code myself
as I'm using someone else's C interface, but out of the 3 times I tried
using it in the last day, it only helped once.

I personally think, barring this idea, the best path is simply to wrap C
functions you want to call with toStringz'd versions.
