I thought that D managed the "\0" characters ( that was why we hadn't to put any
in our char [] variables ). Therefore I made the following test :
// constchar.d
import std.stdio ;

const char [] foo  = "foo\0" ;
typeof ( foo ) bar = "bar\0" ;

void main ()
{
char [] test = foo ~ bar ;

writefln ( test );
}
ray at Moonraker:~/dee/tmp$ ./constchar
foobar

Seems that there is no problem. I may have not understand something.
