Well he is right, the reason built-in strings everywhere and rarely (so  
rare that i have never seen one yet) someone comes up with a better  
alternative.
IMO people are spoiled by dynamic languages and fail to see the strengths  
of D strings. Someone coming from C/C++ this is heaven, both for  
performance and flexibility.
