I can see the practicality of null-terminating, but I would really like

Forcing people to go through str::as_bytes() to observe the null
terminating seems like a win—except that I'd probably call it as_cstr()
or something like that, to emphasize it's null-terminated-ness.
Right, but .. you can still observe it by allocating a str/5 in a record
and noticing that it takes 6 bytes (i.e. with sizeof). Tolerable?
I think this is acceptable, Who's to say what that other byte is really
doing there?
