Is there a reason we cannot implement toStringz like:

immutable(TChar)* toStringz(TChar = char)(scope const(TChar)[] s) @trusted pure nothrow;
// Couldn't find a way to get the char type of a string, so
"core.sys.windows.windows.winbase",it's implementation is a good choice.
couldn't make the following generic:
immutable(char)* toStringz(return scope string s) @trusted pure nothrow; immutable(wchar)* toStringz(return scope wstring s) @trusted pure nothrow; immutable(dchar)* toStringz(return scope dstring s) @trusted pure nothrow;


For example:
/////////////////////////////////START//////////////////////////////////////
import core.sys.windows.windows;
import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.conv;

void main()
{
        auto    strA_Z ="CD"w;
        auto type = GetDriveType((to!wstring(strA_Z[0])~":\\"w).tos);
        writeln(to!wstring(strA_Z[0])~" is ",type);
}

private auto tos(wstring str)
{
 version (ANSI)
 {
        writeln("ANSI");
        return cast(const(char)*)(str);
 }
 else
 {
        writeln("Unicode");
        return cast(const(wchar)*)(str);
        
 }
}
private auto tos(string str)
{
 version (ANSI)
 {
        writeln("ANSI");
        return cast(const(char)*)(str);
 }
 else
 {
        writeln("Unicode");
        return cast(const(wchar)*)(str);
 }
}
/////////////////////////////////END//////////////////////////////////

It's work ok.
