Yes, that's what I thought.

The concat operation tends to give the most flexible type of the 
arguments... and I wish it would then ACTUALLY use that 
flexibility... but it doesn't.

Regardless though since you know you are concating it, which 
means you get a new string anyway, you can safely cast(string) it.

string longMsg = "The: " ~ cast(string) exc.message;

that's how i do it.
