You are right, that was not the root, even if the mistake is
extremely simple: foreach(c, s) is used to seek the string.
I just realized that foreach can mess things up when used on
strings. I can't scroll the feeling this is a pitfall of the
language:
the code
foreach (immutable dchar c; s)
writeln("token: ", c);
produces deeply different results than
foreach (c; s)
writeln("token: ", c);
see http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/302291fd
I understand why foreach would produce such a result, but I guess
newcomers will get burnt by this.
I will open a bug report for the munch function in the mean time.
