Okay, sounds reasonable.
What about many of the phobos functions, like for example from std.regex:
int find(string s, RegExp pattern);
I mean, that function won't store anything, right?

Well, topic says it all. Why is the string parameter for the Exception
class in object.di an immutable(char[])?
A const(char[]) works for both, immutable(char[]) types and char[]
types. why this limitation?
Normally, I'd agree with you, but if the exception gets a
immutable(char)[], it can store it without duplication, and without
worry it will change it.
If you passed in a const, then you'd *have* to duplicate it.
If you have a char[] or a const(char)[] that you want to pass in, call
idup on it.
