No need for regular expressions. D is powerful enough without them:

```
alias lowercased = (m, n) => m.take(n).asLowerCase.chain(m.drop(n));

And with the filter, so it passes the assert:

```
string input = "My Capital String";
auto lower1 = input.take(1).asLowerCase.chain(input.drop(1).filter!(c => c != ' ')).array;
assert(lower1 == "myCapitalString");
```

Also a few more options (including a slice version):

As the input is never read until the array() is run, each element in the array should only be copied from RAM to the stack once.

And if you compile with LDC a lot of it can be inlined and the stack copies of the range structs and elements should be minimised even further.
