Right, that will not work with any of the active proposals.

Though with mine, you will get a type mismatch error if you try 
and you can put `.idup` on it to make a copy into a GC string. So 
it is still easy enough... while being possible to do *so* much 
more with it too.

(and even with Walter's original one, you can import std.format; 
and then i"xxxx".format() to do it too.)
