Thanks for sharing! Obviously Phobos documentation could and 
should be improved, people are working on it but unlike some 
other languages there's nobody in D community working full time 
on documentation and articles. And D user base is still quite 
small, so Stack Overflow is not quite overflown with D-related 
answers.

Out of curiosity I looked into "D Cookbook" to check if it 
contains your particular case but the only mention of Base64 
there is about encoding some data into Base64, not the other way 
around.
