Dude! Where's my string constant?

[kris]

Does D have a compile-time string constants? One that doesn't wind up in 
the obj file when it is unused?

const char[] Foo = "foo";

Apparently resides in the object file, used or not. Just like const int 
does. For true compile-time integer constants, we're supposed to use 
enum -- but what of strings? Enum currently doesn't like char[] :)

Suggestions for faking it include:

* char[] Foo() { return "foo"; }
* template Foo { const Foo="foo"; }

The former *should* get removed by the linker as unused, while the 
latter apparently gets eliminated by way of lack-of-expansion.

However, going to these lengths is surely counter-intuitive?
