And the previous examples were language agnostic.  In D and other languages
where the length of a string is stored we can nest strings anywhere inside
other strings.

const char[] a = "foofoo";
const char[] b = "oof";

Those can't be nested in null terminated strings, bit they can where
strings have an explicit length.
