Is there a plan to make std.string and std.algorithm more compatible with 
this view? 

Nearly all algorithms in std.string work with slices or substrings rather 
than code unit or points. I found it sometimes hard to mix and match that 
approach with the api that std.algorithm offers. Maybe I'm missing 
something.
