A lot of C and C++ knowledge will carry over to D, but it isn't exactly
the same. D's strings are of type `string` which is another word for
`immutable(char)[]`.
immutable means the contents never change. A `[]` slice is a
pointer+length pair in a single type.
For your simple case, making it `const char*` should work...
No, it shouldn't.
Worst, it should work *most* of the time.
If you cast a D string to const char* may or may not null terminate the
string.
