Wait, this should be an error. You need toStringz there.

Sorry, I meant:
void myLog(string msg)
{
printf(msg.ptr);
}
(Which works as expected because string literals are null-terminated.
This is also how things work when you pass a string literal to a
const(char)* value; it just does "literal".ptr.)
No, it doesn't:
myLog("abc"[0..1]); // prints abc instead of the requested a
string is not necessarily a literal. A literal has a special polysemous
type, and special properties. An ordinary string does not.
