How to read \n from a string

Do you like this?


void main() {
     import std.stdio, std.array;

     auto s = `This is just a little string I wrote\n to see if
all was upside down or not, or known to be back to front at all.`;

     s.writeln;
     writeln;
     auto s2 = s.replace("\n", "").replace(`\n`, "\n");
     s2.writeln;
}
