C string literals are awesome!

I started programming in Rust looking for a safer replacement for C that would produce code that would bug at runtime. And my personal complaint with Rust was its inability to be friendly with C, especially when it comes to string literals. I could get around this with crates like const-cstr so it wasn't a big problem.

But recently I got back into programming and updated some of my crates that use C strings and I was amazed when I saw that in version 1.77 C string literals were added, not only that but they also went further and made their use very practical by emitting a type &CStr to represent them in code. With this I was able to remove the const-cstr crate, which is unmaintained and has a report on rustsec warning not to use it, in addition to making the development of FFI code less complicated and safer.

That was it, I just wanted to thanks rust teams for this incredible addition 👍.
