Whats with that null char ?  Should this be toStringz ?

Anyway this is failing :

char [] f = "Fizzle";
char [] newF;
foreach ( char x;f ) {
newF ~= std.string.toString(x);
}
printf("%.*s",newF);

Only prints 'F'

however this works 

char [] f = "Fizzle";
char [] newF;
foreach ( char x;f ) {
newF ~= std.string.toString(x)[0 .. 1];
}
printf("%.*s",newF);



Thanks,

 }

I'm guessing it was done that way to make it easier to use with C functions:
toStringz() wouldn't need to copy it; but whoever wrote it forgot to just
return a slice of the first char. I didn't even know that function existed.
Obvious fix that needs to be made:

char[] toString(char c)
{
   char[] result = new char[2];
   result[0] = c;
   result[1] = 0;
   return result[0 .. 1];
}
