Assuming that `src' is a wchar* string, in Phobos it's like this:

  import std.utf;
  extern(C) uint wcslen(in wchar* str);	// a C runtime library function

  char[] str = toUTF8(src[0..wcslen(src)]);

In Tango, this would be:

  import tango.text.convert.Utf;
  import tango.text.Util;

  auto len = indexOf(src, '\u0000', uint.max);
  char[] str = toString(src[0..len]);
