What about:struct String { string items; alias items this; }And add the needed functions you wish to have in string and it will still work in existing functions that operate on immutable(char)[]
You shouldn't need to do that:
string strstr(string haystack, string needle);
can be used as:
string s;
s.strstr("needle");
so you can add "methods" to a string or whatever just by defining
functions.
