Hello, everyone!
I like to work with arrays of strings like `string[] strArray`,
but unfortunately, they are immutable.
I do not like to work with arrays of strings such as `char[][]
strArray`, because it is necessary to apply the method .dup
each substring to make them work :)
Huh? You mean with string literals? That would be a rather silly
reason to avoid `char[]`. Please show an example of .dup you'd
like to avoid.
I understand that the type of `string[]` to D is a simple data
type than `char[][]`,
Are you saying that `string[]` is simpler than `char[][]`? That's
not true: `string` is an alias for `immutable(char)[]`, so
`string[]` is the same as `immutable(char)[][]`.
but it seems to me that the problem is solved in C++:
std::vector<std::string> stdArray;
I wish to propose the creation of new types of data D: str,
wstr, dstr, which will be the analogs of C++
`std::vector<std::string>`.
Before jumping to a solution, please elaborate on the perceived
problem. I have a feeling that there is none.
