Simply put, the D community is used to toStringz . I might be wrong, but
I think we are all familiar with this function and use it on a daily
basis. :)
I agree with this assessment. I'll add that toStringz is memorable -- I
remember how to use it and write it instantly. I'm not sure why, but I
think it's because it's name is really unlikely to occur in any other
context.
I don't agree that toStringz is incorrectly camel cased, and I think
toCString is not as descriptive, because it's identifying the language
where zero-terminated strings are from, not that the string is zero
terminated (signified well by the zero).
I would like to change toUTF16z to toWStringz (and likewise for
dstrings). You haven't listed this as an option. I see a large
inconsistency there.
