Since D is a hybrid language, it needs string types AND a String class.

And since Phobos isn't a pure OOP library, the lack of a pure OOP string 
class isn't all that surprising. Especially after bashing std::string...

But it would be nice to have one "official" String class, instead of 
everyone inventing their own which seems to be inevitable otherwise ?
