A string is, by definition in D, a character array, specifically 
`immutable(char)[]`. It's not like, for example, Java in which 
it's a completely separate type; you can perform all the standard 
array operations on strings.

If you need to mutate a string, then you can create a mutable 
`char[]` by doing `somestring.dup` as Dennis already mentioned.
