Wouldn't it work to make it optional then?  Something like this, 
I think:
auto tempCString(To = char, From, Length = 1024)(in From[] str) 
if (isSomeChar!To && isSomeChar!From);

Choosing a sane default but allowing specialist users an easy way 
to fine-tune it for their needs while keeping the basic usage 
simple is something I'd advocate for.  (Personally, I think 1K 
sounds quite high; I'd probably make it 256 (one less than the 
max length of filenames on a whole bunch of filesystems)).
