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.
But shouldn't they work with *ranges* in general, a string being only a
specific case?
That's true as well! In my dreams, me and the famous actress... oh wait,
wrong dream. In my dreams, I eliminate std.string and put all of its
algorithms, properly generalized, in std.algorithm, to work on more than
just arrays, and more than just characters.
