Phobos kind of refuses to treat strings like arrays of characters, it

With DMD and a hand-written splitter, it takes 6 seconds instead of 10

If you need to write a custom splitter to get acceptable performance
then it sounds to me that D or Phobos have failed.
I wrote a custom splitter specialized for arrays. It's as fast.
Why doesn't it get used for strings in this instance? Maybe there is a
bad constraint somewhere.
I fear there's a misunderstanding somewhere. Splitter and find are
already specialized appropriately for strings.
