I was going by the example at the bottom of the OP. Use whatever type is
expected by the C API, of course.

C.CBytes does essentially this, but you either need to start with a []byte,
or the string conversion could be a second copy.
I don't see a need for a separate version CString without the null when you
can just pass the length-1. In the rare case that the extra byte makes a
difference, you coul

Yes... I mentioned that as a somewhat solution. ... it still allocates 1
byte more than needed.
