The way to get a high performance string parser in D is to take
advantage of one of D's unique features - slices. Java, C++, C#, etc.,
all rely on copying strings. With D you can just use slices into the
original XML source text. If you're copying the text, you're doing it
wrong.
.NET and Qt do have slices of some kind:

I am not sure whether their XML libraries use those.
