Wouldn't it be sufficient to take const as input? IIRC, both mutable and
immutable can be implicitly converted to const and this exactly the
purpose that const is designed for: data that I can't change but that
other code may be able to change. Or am I mixing something up here?
What should the functions return, then? If the output is always
const(char)[], I need to cast it to make it immutable(char)[] or char[],
and casting is an unsafe operation.
