To measure the columns needed to print a string, you'll need
the number of graphemes. (d|)?string.length gives you the
number of code units.
Even that's not really true.
Why? Doesn't string.length give you the byte count?
I think what you are looking for is string.sizeof?
From the D reference
.sizeof Returns the array length multiplied by the number of
bytes per array element.
.length Returns the number of elements in the array. This is a
fixed quantity for static arrays. It is of type size_t.
Isn't a string type an array of characters (char[] string UTF-8,
wchar[] string UTF-16, and dchar[] string UTF-32) and not
arbitrary bytes?
