Frankly, I don't even mind toString too much. It's toWString and
toDString I have a problem with :-)

tango.text.String is kind of a quantum string, since it can basically be
manipulated as a char[], wchar[], or dchar[] (ie. utf-8, utf-16, and
utf-32). So Utf8String isn't really appropriate :-) The name would
have to change to something else generic like 'Text'.
