there are lot of people suggesting to change how string behaves. but
remember, d is awesome compared to other languages for not wrapping
string in a class or struct.
you can use string/char[] without loosing your _nativeness_. programmers
targeting embedded systems are really happy because of this.
by the way, I don't want to blame someone, but I think we diverged from
the original purpose of this topic. __"string is rarely useful as a
function argument"__
I think he points out that choosing _string_ type in function arguments
is _wrong_ in most cases. and there isn't much use of inout in phobos as
it was broken for a long time.
