quick question: What is the most efficient way to covert a
string to a char array?
A string is, by definition in D, a character array,
specifically `immutable(char)[]`. It's not like, for example,
Java in which it's a completely separate type; you can perform
all the standard array operations on strings.
If you need to mutate a string, then you can create a mutable
`char[]` by doing `somestring.dup` as Dennis already mentioned.
The problem I was having was actually that an opengl function
(specifically glShaderSource) wouldn't accept strings. I'm still
can't get it to work actually :P
glShaderSource (uint, int, const(char*)*, const(int)*)
This one function is a bugger, been going at this for hours.

Note that this will allocate a new garbage collected array.
Thx for the heads up
