If you know that a string is 0 terminated, you can easily create a slice

It is clean and avoid to modify the stdlib in an unsafe way.
Of course, using strlen() is always going to be unsafe. But having %zs
is equally unsafe for the same reason.
deadalnix's example shows that adding a new format specifier %zs adds
little value, but it gets much worse. Since %zs is inherently unsafe, it
hides such unsafety in a commonly used library function, which will
infect everything else that transitively calls writefln with unsafety.
This makes %zs an unacceptable feature.
Exactly my point.
