Thank you for confirming that std.uni doesn't implement that 
functionality, and for pointing to a Tango source.  That's probably the 
one I was originally remembering, but is Tango even still being 
maintained?  (OK, this very module was last updated 3 days ago.)

FWIW, in the past I've had a lot of trouble syncing Tango and D, to the 
point that I just dropped Tango, but as you say, this module doesn't 
seem to have any external dependencies, and it would be a faster 
solution to the problem, and perhaps it would work on the various 
control chars.

Still, I don't use this for heavy processing, so maintaining this 
external dependency would likely be more effort than it is worth...as 
long as I don't need to handle exotic chars in the control range.

If speed were my main consideration, I'd certainly give that solution a 
try.  The benefit of the solution that I proposed is that it's easy to 
understand given the phobos library.  And if I actually needed to handle 
exotic control chars, then it would be the only option I've seen.  
However the text I'm handling is *almost* all ASCII, so ... (occasional 
German, occasional footnotes in Greek, and occasional and usually 
isolated single ideograms in Chinese or some Japanese script, etc.  I 
don't think I've run across any Sanskrit yet.  etc.)

As such the solution I proposed is probably good enough, though if there 
were a Phobos level solution I'd prefer that.
