I didn't write it before when DString was introduced, but I got also 
very positive feelings about it.

As a programmer in common cases I should not be bothered about 
implementation details of string. It should not matter if I work with 
char[], wchar[] or dchar[].

I agree that it should be putted in Phobos immediately! (Maybe just some 
optimalizations with string size could be added, so adding one dchar to 
char[] string will not cause conversion from char[] to dchar[], but 
rather dchar to char).
