Someone posted it somewhere at some time.
I currently use this for strings:

---<snip>---

version (D_Version2)
{
	mixin("alias invariant(char)* icptr;");
	alias char* cptr;
}
else
{
	alias char*  icptr;
	alias char*  cptr;
	alias char[] string;
}

---<snap>---

Or were you just complaining about the lack of elegance here?
