D and Unicode(UTF16) strings

[Vincent Richomme]

Hi,

would it be possible to add a type wstring that could represent a UTF16 
string. Actually on Windows platform you can compile in ANSI or UNICODE 
and you have the standard char* as well as a wchar_t*.

I saw that in D string is an alias for char[], would it be possible to 
do the same for wchar[] and define a wstring in core language ?

That would allow to declare an alias like this :

Version(Unicode)
{
  alias wstring tstring
}
else
{
alias string tstring
}
