String alloc shouldn't convert to std::string.

As I work through making code use more C++ RAII and such, most
of the work is handling strings, especially temporaries.  As member
variables which manage string memory get turned into `std::string`,
some use cases might wind up leaking memory.  (One was found in
this change.)

By using a non-convertible-to-string result, such accidents should
be avoided.
