I agree.

As I've already said in the past here on this forum, D's way of 
managing string/array/slices in the same manner is one of its 
biggest advances over C/C++, both in safety and expressivity.

Very simple stuff indeed, but still lightyears ahead of C++, 
Java, C#, etc.

And something that REALLY must be integrated into BetterC's 
low-level standard library in some way IMHO...
