What about using output ranges?
I think most the string functions should be transformative, like std.algorithm.map, so they take an input range and return an input range.
This lets them chain most easily, letting the user sink them into a particular range at the end.
Though we could do a bit of magic to both take an output range and return an input range for it (which can also be backward-compatible, as we talked about in a thread a month or so ago), the most straightforward way is surely to treat it all like map.
