No.
The whole point of toStringz() is that it returns a string that can be
fed to normal C functions that work on strings.
And C functions expect a "string" to be a char* (or wchar*) pointing to
a block of memory containing the string and terminated by '\0'.
The functionality of toStringz() should not change.
This is just about the name.
