Agreed. This is the common case we need to solve for, but this is 
memory allocation, not management. I'm not sure where manual 
management fits into Andrei's scheme. Andrei, could you give an 
example of, e.g. how toStringz would work with a stack buffer in 
your proposed scheme?

Another thought: if we use a template parameter, what's the story 
for virtual functions (e.g. Object.toString)? They can't be 
templated.
