If you want really good performance out of a range-based solution operating on ranges of dchar, then you need to special case for the built-in string types all over the place, and if you have to wrap them in other range types (generally because of calling another range-based function), then there's a good chance that you will indeed get a performance hit. D's range-based approach is really nice from the perspective of usability, but you have to work at it a bit if you want it to be efficient when operating on strings. It _can_ be done though.
Is it really worth it though? Most use cases will just be with regular strings?
