So, please fire away. I'd appreciate it if you used RCString in 
lieu of string and note the differences. The closer we get to 
parity in semantics, the better.

It should support appending single code units:
---
alias String = RCString;

void main()
{
    String s = "abc";

    s ~= cast(char)'0';
    s ~= cast(wchar)'0';
    s ~= cast(dchar)'0';

    writeln(s); // abc000
}

Works with C[], fails with RCString. The same is true for 
concatenation.
