const-cstr is Unsound
The crate violates the safety contract of ffi::CStr::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked used in ConstCStr::as_cstr
No interior nul bytes checking is done either by the constructor or the canonical macro to create the ConstCStr
const-cstr Panic
Additionally the crate may cause runtime panics if statically compiled and ran with any untrusted data that is not nul-terminated.
This is however unlikely but the the crate should not be used for untrusted data in context where panic may create a DoS vector.
