I will say that I don't agree with this assessment -- the bug isn't really
about user error while operating on a narrow string, but about how the compiler
& library combo respond to that misuse. To wit, anytime a user gets a cryptic
error message buried deep inside a library in response to a simple mistake, you
have disempowered them from solving their own problem and derailed their
momentum in learning the language.

That said, under 2.058 the error message is now:

    test.d(11): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (start) of type
char[] to ulong

Which makes it clear that find(string, string) is returning a slice. I think
this specific issue should be closed.
