While the idea is reasonable, the problem then becomes that if you

That's the same risk with to!string(), yes? We aren't really losing
anything by adding it.
Also this reminds me of the utter uselessness of the current behavior of
"%s" and a pointer - it prints the address.
Why not specialize current "%s" for character pointer types so it will
print null terminated strings? It's always possible to cast to void* to
print an address.
