Serializing strings as C-Style strings (null-terminated)

[Waelwindows]

Can you serialize the string "Test" as "Test\00" using bincode?

It doesn't matter which string type it is, but it's preferable to not implement a new string type in rust

I don't think this makes sense for bincode. Rust strings are not null terminated and can even contain null bytes. I could see this making sense for cross-language compat if Rust strings couldn't have null bytes, but since they can other languages would need to do processing anyways.
