Is there a simpler way to way to

Should be enough. Why the "to!string"?
There's 1 useless allocation, but I think that's OK for code this
trivial?
Else, you can do:
s.length+=n;
s[$-n .. $] []= '*';
This is also relatively simple. The ownside is doing double
assignement, as "length" will initialize new elements to
"char.init". Probably not noticeable.
There *might* be more "efficient" ways to do it, but I'd doubt it
qualifies as "simpler". Or if it's really observeable. Are these
good enough for you?
