Is it possible to turn temporary char/wchar buffer in to a

What string functions in particular? If they are written
correctly, it should just work.... mutable char[] can be passed
as a char* or const char* with the .ptr property.
I could use C strcmp etc but then I might as well just write
the code in C.
meh D rox over C even if you just use C functions
I'm trying to use windows registry functions. This requires
passing a char(sometimes a TCHAR) buffer.
But I need to compare the results, case insensitive, to a
string(since that is what D uses). It's being a real pain in the
butt to deal with the mixture.
I tried using slices, which works for char but not wchar as
string is not a immutable(wchar). I don't want to use wide
strings because that doesn't seem to be a "thing" in d.
This whole char vs wchar vs dchar is a big confusing, not in what
they are but how they all interrelate between D and windows and
their doesn't seem to be an easy way to convert between them all
unless one wants to litter their code with to!'s.
