Yes. That's right, and not otherwise :)

Yes, but it is not suitable for multidimensional array of strings.

And why in C++ is running `std::vector<std::string>` ?
Really in D can not do something like that?

Maybe a new type will not solve anything, but there should be 
other ways to do in D analogue strings of C++.

I would not say `simpler`, and `basic`. I just forgot the right 
word, because my English is not good enough.
