To answer Erdem's later question, loops with side effects can be 
replaced with std.algorithm.each:

     totalStr.each!(elem => charAppender.put(elem));

One issue with that method that I am frequently reminded of is that 
although the lambda's => syntax is by definition a return statement, 
'each' does not do anything with the returned value. (Regardless of 
whether the lambda returns anything or not.)
