So, about D vs C++ there... last night for reasons I forget I 
tried replacing std::string with const char* in the C++ version, 
and then it got faster than D. I don't know why.

At first I thought std::string was being copied instead of being 
moved, but some static_asserts made me doubt that. Either way, 
there's no good reason I can think of for C++ to magically speed 
up for const char*. Hmm :(
