Does it make sense for Phobos to provide such a shortcut in an obscure header somewhere? Like std.cstring? Or should we just say "roll your own if you need it"?

I didn't look it up, so I could be making quite a fool of myself right now, but doesn't to!string(char*) provide exactly that?

string is immutable.  Must allocate.

You fool :)

Well, make it to!char(char*) then! ;)
