Yes, you right it's unfortunate and IMHO is not appropriate for a wide use.

This syntax may be good for some specific (and not widely used) tasks such 
as building hashing algorithm at compile-time for a given set of static 
strings but not for "normal" strings.
I beveive it's better to wait for a new compiler which can optimize dynamic 
memory allocations (a possibly even more) away.
