Which operations are you thinking of in std.array that decode when they shouldn't?
front() in std.array looks like:
@property dchar front(T)(T[] a) @safe pure if (isNarrowString!(T[]))
{
assert(a.length, "Attempting to fetch the front of an empty array of " ~
T.stringof);
size_t i = 0;
return decode(a, i);
}
So anytime I write a generic algorithm using empty, front, and popFront(), it
decodes the strings, which is a large pessimization.
