The problem is that you're hiding a method that is still reachable

Rather than throwing a runtime error this was changed to a compiler error.

You should not turn off deprecations btw ;).
I haven't turned off deprecations. This is in Tango and it seems no one
has cared to fix those.
The simple solution in you case is to override the inherited `string
toString()` with an implementation that forwards to your `toString()`.
class UniText
{
override string toString() { return toString(null).idup; }
abstract const char[] toString (char[] dst = null);
abstract const wchar[] toString16 (wchar[] dst = null);
abstract const dchar[] toString32 (dchar[] dst = null);
}
Also see at
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/4e799b75ebcb6d00ccefbcfd763a1f5d158357a1/src/object.d#L1598
for an example of an alternative overridable toString method.
Maybe you should use the delegate based toString as well, it's already
supported by a some phobos formatting.
Again, this is in Tango, I just want it to compile :)
