Please use fromStringz.

It's not a poor design choice. It ensures the string is handled
by the D GC instead of the C side freeing it. `fromStringz` and
`to!(String)` are for different cases.
You clearly didn't read the discussion in the link. And, when
copying is desired, I'll take fromStringz(cstr).idup over
to!string any day.
