Thankfully no one writes that today because String::from is objectively superior

I use str.to_owned() and I can confirm it's superiority.
Right after I started using Rust and got used to that method someone made it so that to_string, to_owned, etc. are equivalent so I guess it really doesn't matter. lol -
I'm firmly in the `String::from` camp. I know that `String` is heap allocated, and I know that I'm getting `String` as a result. `.to_owned` tells me neither of those things.

I'm in the "I was around before 1.0 where we changed the name of String twice and fucked with to_owned a million times and had to refactor from to_owned to to_string back to to_owned and now I hate ownerifying strings in any way period strings can go die in a fire" camp
