I think that PR, and the others slated to follow it, should just merge
with autodecoding in conformance to the rest of Phobos right now,
independently of however the decision on the autodecoding issue will
turn out. If we do decide eventually to get rid of autodecoding, we're
gonna have to rewrite much of Phobos anyway, so it's not as though
merging PRs now is going to make it significantly worse. I don't see why
the entire burden of deciding upon autodecoding should rest upon a PR
that merely introduces a new string function.
