I tend to put things the other way around in my code, i.e:

char * cstring_of_text(const text *t)

mainly because things read more easily---type definitions of new
variables are next to the first part of the word.

char * str = cstring_of_text(src_text);
vs.
char * str = text_to_cstring(src_text);

I think I got my original inspiration for doing it this way around from
the Caml language.
