I agree with this assessment.  I'll add that toStringz is memorable -- I  
remember how to use it and write it instantly.  I'm not sure why, but I  
think it's because it's name is really unlikely to occur in any other  
context.

I don't agree that toStringz is incorrectly camel cased, and I think  
toCString is not as descriptive, because it's identifying the language  
where zero-terminated strings are from, not that the string is zero  
terminated (signified well by the zero).

I would like to change toUTF16z to toWStringz (and likewise for  
dstrings).  You haven't listed this as an option.  I see a large  
inconsistency there.
