import std.conv;

void main()
{
    char*  cstr = "bla".dup.ptr;
    wchar* wstr = "bla"w.dup.ptr;
    dchar* dstr = "bla"d.dup.ptr;

Created an attachment (id=1067)
utf

Added implementation to be added to std.conv. These have to be further verified.

Btw, several people have asked for to!(char*)/to!(wchar*)/to!(dchar*) to work,
so I've added a simple template overload that forwards to toUTFz. Personally I
think this is a good convenience.

Whoa, this has now turned from CT failure to outputting garbage. I'm raising importance of this:

import std.stdio;
import std.conv;

void main()
{
    char*  cstr = "bla".dup.ptr;
    wchar* wstr = "bla"w.dup.ptr;
    dchar* dstr = "bla"d.dup.ptr;

    writeln( to!string(cstr) );  bla
    writeln( to!string(wstr) );  // 972F90
    writeln( to!string(dstr) );  // 972F80
}

Technically not garbage but the pointed value is interpreted as an integer.
