I don't like this name, how about `concat_to_c_str` or `concat_with_nul`?
This macro also is useful from macros that have a normal string literal, but can't turn it into a `c""` one.
Uh, can you give an example? I'm not attached to the name.
- // NB: we could write `($str:lit) => compile_error!("use a C string literal instead");` here but

const C: &$crate::str::CStr = match $crate::str::CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(S.as_bytes()) {
Ok(v) => v,
Err(_) => panic!("string contains interior NUL"),
};
const S: &'static str = concat!($str, "\0");
const C: &'static $crate::str::CStr =
match $crate::str::CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(S.as_bytes()) {
Why is this still our CStr?
Good question. I'll just revert all the changes here, I don't need to touch this.
Ok(v) => v,
Err(err) => {
let _: core::ffi::FromBytesWithNulError = err;
Is this really necessary?
No. Reverted in v11.
