(Don't tell anyone, but I plan to rewrite it.)

This doesn't compile:
string[] words = split(strip(line));
it has to be
string[] words = split(strip(line.idup));
I like the way you write, it's amusing. And most of the time, you explain
things well. But many of the code examples you provide
don't compile or don't give correct results (I also had this problem
with the Dr. Dobbs article). That makes me wonder if you actually test
them or just write them off the top of your head?
Apologies for the low quality of code samples. I've recently wrote a script
that extracts all snippets from the book, compiles them and runs them
automatically, and possibly compare output against the expected output.
Currently not all snippets can compile. Walter and I are working on that.
I'll add the necessary warning in the next TDPL draft.
Thanks for letting me know about the strip problem.

It's also arguable that all functions in std.string should take
const(char)[]. Or, you know, const(T)[], since D supports encodings
other than UTF-8, despite what std.string leads you to believe.
Yah, I think they should all be parameterized so they can work with
various character widths and even encodings.
