The D `string` is an alias for `immutable(char)[]`, immutable
contents of a mutable array reference (`immutable(char[])`
would mean the array reference is also immutable). You don't
want to assign that to a `char*`, because then you'd be able to
mutate the contents of the string, thereby violating the
contract of immutable. (`immutable` means the data to which
it's applied, in this case the contents of an array, will not
be mutated through any reference anywhere in the program.)

Thanks a lot for the info!
