Not necessary. Why couldn't we take the whole array as a string when no null character is present? It means as_literal will not have constant complexity?
as_literal doesn't have contant complexity even now, since it works with c-strings. It has constant complexity only in case of arrays and that's only because the implementation is wrong.
If so, as_literal should have been named as "as_c_str", IMO.
Since as_literal is used quite some time already, I don't see any compelling reason to rename it. Regards, Pavol.
