The core issue, I guess, is that '==' implicitely means comparison "by value
equality". This sense is even more obvious in D which has a dedicated operator
'is' for comparison "by ref identity".
Current behaviour comparing structs using by ref for their string & array
members may not be wrong in itself, but it conflicts with expected semantics of
'=='. And the case of (interned) string literals makes it inconsistent.
