Ok. That's all you're on about? Basically you'd like this:
     char[] s = "foo";
and this:
     char[][] a = [["foo"]];
etc.

Yeah, that would be neat. But typing out ".dup" isn't that bad, 
and converting a `string[]` to a `char[][]` is simple:
     import std.conv: to;
auto a = ["foo"].to!(char[][]);

I don't see how adding a new builtin type `str` would solve 
anything.
