Comparing
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_string.html vs
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.string.html
I generally find yours easier to read but miss the examples that 
are in the std docs. And in both cases there is no coverage of 
(or cross-refs to coverage of) string iteration, string indexing, 
and byte, code point, and grapheme counting. Also yours doesn't 
have the search box.

I've now discovered the std.uni and std.utf modules. There really 
ought to be cross-refs to/from these and std.string and Array 
string.
