It does. std.utf.toUTFz will do every combination of char type and constness. 
And std.utf.toUTF16z will convert any string to a null-terminated 
const(wchar)*.

Shouldn't we deprecate "toUTF16z" if "toUTFz" can handle all cases that 
"toUTF16z" does?

This was already proposed before, but it would break too much code.
Anyway there's nothing wrong in having an alias that makes typing
simpler, e.g. toUTF16z vs toUTF!(const(wchar)*).

Phobos has many helper auto functions which make instantiating
templates simpler, toUTF16z has that same kind of role.

Fair enough.

std.utf.toUTFz will do every combination of char type and constness. And 
std.utf.toUTF16z will convert any string to a null-terminated const(wchar)*.
