Taken straight from http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/arrays.html, this doesn't 
compile:

    void main()
    {
        string str = "abc";
        char* p = str;          // pointer to 1st element
    }

"Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (str) of type char[] to char*"

Of course this doesn't work.
Try char* p = str.ptr;
