For most other uses for special string classes, it's an acceptable fallback to simply cast them to the builtin string, one could even have functions like get_all_args to that automatically. But if you do that for SecretString, it gets quite pointless.

I am not suggesting that the SecretString should work everywhere.
And nor am I suggesting that it should not be possible to cast it to a string.
