I asumme you mean "const char*".

Implicit conversions to const char* lead to implicitly orphaned pointers. I
believe that's why std::string has no implcit conversion to const char*.
Glib::ustring tries to mimick the std::string API as much as possible, as we
asssume that the designers of std::string know what they are doing.
