This is a meta-bug.  In std.string, there are a lot of functions that demand
immutable arguments when they don't really need a guarantee that noone else has
a mutable view of the string, and thus, const arguments would do just fine. 
Fixing this would make the const system seem like much of a straight jacket to
newcomers without reducing safety.
