hex! was a very good idea actually, imo.
It must scale up to "real world" usages. Try it with a program
composed of 3 modules each one containing a 100 KB long string.
Then try it with a program with two hundred of medium sized
literals, and let's see compilation times and binary sizes.

Hum... The compilation is pretty fast actually, about 1 second,
provided it doesn't choke.
It works for strings up to a length of 400 lines @ 80 chars per
line, which result to approximately 16K of data. After that, I
get a DMD out of memory error.
DMD memory usage spikes quite quickly. To compile those 400 lines
(16K), I use 800MB of memory (!). If I reach about 1GB, then it
crashes.
I tried using a refAppender instead of ret~, but that changed
nothing.
Kind of weird it would use that much memory though...
Also, the memory doesn't get released. I can parse a 1x400 Line
string, but if I try to parse 3 of them, DMD will choke on the
second one. :(
