Writing a lot of server side D code lately, and bummed the usual `string literals` (or r"string literals") will only use '\n' as the End of line character, while HTTP (and others too) use CRLF for EOL.

One way is to create a CTFE function that replaces all \n with \r\n, and call this on all string literals.

Another idea I just had was to reserve the rn prefix for such strings, ie. rn"This string
uses CRLF new lines."

The rn prefix would reflect the usual \r\n CRLF pairs. (Perhaps confusing, since the r doesn't actual mean CR, and there's no n prefix either.)

Just a thought. How have others solved this? Short of using \r\n\r\n, that is.
