I like to use alloca too where it's appropriate. I'd definitely like if

I thought about something similar using alloca via a mixin template, but
that feels really hackey!

No hacks needed. See `unstd.c.string` module from previous post:

Super awesome! Phobos devs should be encouraged to use these in non-recursive functions (particularly OS pass-through's).
