That's a good idea which I wonder about its implementation

Implementation would entail a change in the compiler.

Why? D should be plenty powerful to implement this without
modifying the
compiler. Sounds like you suggest that char[] will behave
differently
than other T[] which is a very poor idea IMO.
It's an awesome idea, but for an academic debate at best.

I don't follow you. You've suggested a change that I agree with.
Adam provided a prototype string library type that accomplishes
your specified goals without any changes to the compiler. What
are we missing here? IF it boils down to changing the compiler or
leaving the status-quo, I'm voting against the compiler change.
