I can't remember if it will include the null terminator or not,
but if it does just decrease strLen by 1.
Strings from C libraries shouldn't be casted to immutable. If the
characters of the C string are truly immutable, mark it as
immutable(char)* in the binding (and needless to say, use
fromStringz instead of explicit counting when the length isn't
known).
