But to be thrice fair, Adam/Steven's proposal would work with
the minor extension `f(i"hello $a".format)`/`f(i"hello
$a".to!string)`, in keeping with the trend of GC use requiring
explicit opt-in.
Actually, thanks to the new type, the sample code in my dip
offers an `idup` overload that works really easily for the users.
void foo(string s) {}
const(char)[] a;
foo(a); // doesn't work, but you can .idup it
foo(i"..."); // doesn't work, but you can .idup it too!
foo(i"...".idup); // indicates you are OK with the GC copy by
asking for one
so still really easy to use while being in line with D's existing
features. No GC if you don't want it, easy GC if you do.
