But `text` is something you choose to import and call yourself. 
You are free to implement your own text function for a BetterC / 
WebAssembly environment. And, as Adam clarified, it's not lowered 
to a Phobos Tuple but a 'compiler tuple'.

I think we can be happy if we can make a convincing case that one 
of these is worth the extra complexity. Trying to get in two new 
string types with huge overlap is probably not worth it. It also 
raises the question 'when to use which' which will not be obvious 
to many users.
