That's a good thing because that string literal is immutable. If that
code compiled you would get undefined behavior.

Unfortunately, not in this case. That undefined behavior would manifest
itself as a "Segmentation fault" on many systems. :)

What you want to do makes sense only if you have a mutable ASCII string.
Such strings are generated at run time so the problem is usually a non
issue:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
foreach (line; stdin.byLine) {
char[] s = line.dup; // (or .idup if you want immutable)
s[$-1] = '.';
writefln("Input : %s", line);
writefln("Output: %s", s);
}
}
