Which is why I'm asking rather than just yanking them. Just because _I_ don't
find them useful doesn't mean that others don't. If people actually use them,
then there's reason to keep them. But there are a number of functions in
std.string which at least _look_ like their of limited usefulness, and if
they're really not used, then they shouldn't be there. However, if they really
_are_ used, then getting rid of them would be a bad idea. So, I'm asking
whether anyone uses them.
