Please, please, please read the whole thing before you write comments 
like this one :S
Quote from my article:

`But then if you know the D specification inside-out, you might say 
“Hey, but when the compiler allocates space for string literals, it 
inserts an additional zero just after that memory range !”. Calm down, 
please, you can remove the toStringz function call and its associated 
import if you know what you're doing. But if someone wanted to have a 
window with some dynamically - generated caption, they would be in some 
serious trouble.`
