Thanks for your reply.
In case you don't know: gettext is used to translate strings.
You call gettext("english string") and it returns the translated
string. Gettext might be the only corner case, but the strings gettext
returns are usually not cached and big projects could translate many
strings, so I thought it could be an issue. But maybe I'm
overestimating that.
I had a look at the source code of toStringz and found the comment you
mentioned. The comment is for toStringz(const(char)[] s)
toStringz(string s) is even more interesting in this case as it does do
that optimization in most cases. I think that's good enough ;-)
