create a String from char* and usz?

[BigRobCoder]

I'm calling into a C library that returns a char* and size_t (aka usz?) length. Is there a way to create a String from pointer and length without having to copy the string?

you can slice it like this

char* some_str = ..;
usz len = ..;

String string = (String)some_str[:len];

it won't do any copies
