This always have been a design mistake to auto cast array in pointers. 
This is silent fallback to usafe world, and what we want to avoid.

This has no benefit because using .ptr isn't really complex and make the

This has been raised many time in the past as being an issue, and it fit 
nicely here.

Having \0 terminated string in D were it has no usage is quite dumb.
