What about using:

Would that not be constructing an associated array? Whilst an associated array
would do the job, there is no value for the "key:value" pair, just a list of
keys.
In the C++ STL there are the "set" and "map" containers. I want something
like "set".

By the way, i may be wrong on that, but D's builtin AAs seem /very/ fast on key access. You'd probably have a hard time even approaching their performance using whatever kind of tree (or rather, of trie). I tried ;-) Both with string and bit-seq keys (in the latter case, thus using a bit-trie). If ever you have any good result on this path, I am very interested.
