I posted about this the other day, wouldn't it make sense to update std.metastrings to be a set of functions useful for CTFE? Because that way they would be usable from either templates or other CTFE functions. And as CTFE capabilities of the compiler get better the functions could be replaced with simple aliases to regular functions in std.string. But at the moment there's not much in std.string that works for CTFE. --bb
