Subject: [ruby-core:31138] Why is there no standard way of creating a String from a char *?

Hi!

Why is there no standard way of creating a String from a char *?  All
the rb_str_new* functions take a const char * and copy it.  I would
like a function that would create a String from a char *, that is,
without copying it.
