Ok.

Yes, you are right:

```d
import std.stdio;
import std.string;

void main() {
     ubyte[8] b1 = [0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x0A, 0x00, 
0x00];
     ubyte[8] b2 = [0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x0A, 0x0A, 
0x0A];
     /* "hello\n\0\0" */

     char[] s1 = fromStringz(cast(char*)b1.ptr);
     writefln("'%s, world'", s1.strip);

     char[] s2 = cast(char[])b2[0 .. $];
     writefln("'%s, world'", s2.strip);
}
```

output:

```
mono:~/2-coding/d-lang/misc$ ./p
'hello, world'
'hello, world'
```

everything as needed.
thanks.
