I agree it's an exception that "str" converts to const(char)* but not
subsequently to const(void)*. However, the conversion to char* is already a
known concession for the sake of C string APIs. I don't think we need to go all
the way into the rabbit hole. (Also the example is obscure.)

@yebblies sorry I'll close this and the pull request. Feel free to reopen if
you feel strongly about this.
