The string is not the problem.

That works.
A string in D is an alias for immutable(char)[]. This is
defined in druntime (object.d).
Immutable does cast to const implicitly, so a string argument
to the constructor works fine as it has the same meaning.
The port however, that needs to be a ubyte/ushort to pass in
and not be a string like you had it.
Yes! Thank you! I just realized the latter part was broken when I
switched to using a uint for the addr. But I didn't know string
is an alias for immutable(char)[]! Thank you!
