dstring support?

[Janice Caron]

Actually, what I'd really like to see is CTFE versions of the
functions in std.string.

Right now, if I want a compile-time find() function, I basically have
to write a new one. The problem is that the existing std.string
functions call other functions that have extern(C) declations, thus
making them unusable at compile time.

Yossarian, you might find that std.algorithm.find() can be used in
place of std.string.find(). It's type-agnostic, and hugely more
powerful.
