I agree.
As I've already said in the past here on this forum, D's way of
managing string/array/slices in the same manner is one of its
biggest advances over C/C++, both in safety and expressivity.
Very simple stuff indeed, but still lightyears ahead of C++,
Java, C#, etc.
And something that REALLY must be integrated into BetterC's
low-level standard library in some way IMHO...
