3. Rename it to toCString (probably renaming toUTF16z to something like
toWCString), so it's then more recognizable to newbies

This + keep around aliases for the old names until D3.

+1. But make it 'toCWString'. :o)

Or toWString (looks nicer to me).

Or toCStr and toWStr (to save 3 characters on each).

winnt.h defines many similar types:

typedef __nullterminated WCHAR *NWPSTR, *LPWSTR, *PWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PWSTR *PZPWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST PWSTR *PCZPWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated WCHAR UNALIGNED *LPUWSTR, *PUWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST WCHAR *LPCWSTR, *PCWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PCWSTR *PZPCWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST WCHAR UNALIGNED *LPCUWSTR, *PCUWSTR;

so variations on any of those make sense.

.. I think the toStringz probably came from the winnt.h defines using z..

typedef __nullterminated CHAR *NPSTR, *LPSTR, *PSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PSTR *PZPSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST PSTR *PCZPSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST CHAR *LPCSTR, *PCSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PCSTR *PZPCSTR;
