won't compile, since it won't make a String out of that immutable(char)[] literal without an explicit initialization of some sort.

//cannot pass argument "this" of type string to parameter String s

iep, this seems a real problem. ;/

You can sort of have custom literals like in C++

String s(object.string t){ return String(t); }

foo("this".s);

Yes, but you don't really need this function.

struct String
{
    this(object.string s){}
}
foo("this".String);
alias s = String; //if you want.
foo("this".s);
