this type for literals.
Proposals to make a string class for D have come up many times. I have a
kneejerk dislike for it. It's a really strong feature for D to have
strings be an array type, and I'll go to great lengths to keep it that
way.
I wholly agree, they should be an array type. But what they are now is
worse.
