Unless you are dealing with windows, in which case you way need
to consider using wstring, there is very little reason to use
anything but string.
N.B. when you iterate over a string there are a number of
different "flavours" (for want of a better term) you can
iterate over, bytes, unicode codepoints and graphemes ( I'm
possible forgetting some). have a look in std.uni and related
modules. Iteration in Phobos defaults to coepoints I think.
TLDR use string.
Thank you (and rikki) for replying. Actually, I am using Windows
(Doh!) but I now understand. Cheers!
