This is in no way D specific but say you have two constant strings.

You could lay out the memory inside of one another. IE: if a.ptr = 1
then b.ptr = 6. I'm not sure if this has been done and I don't think
it would apply very often but it would be kinda cool.
I thought of this because I wanted to pre-generate hex-representations
of some numbers I realized I could use half the memory if I nested
them. (At least I think it would be half).
Kevin.
I'm pretty sure this is called string pooling.
Right. Most compilers do it.
