I would assume this: someone needed char[] marshaling, and either:

(a) added a bugzilla entry and someone implemented it
(b) implemented support on their own
(c) bribed someone to implement support for them. :-)

Apparently none of the above occurred for string marshaling (though I
haven't checked bugzilla to make sure this is true).
