Same here. It's starting to sound like some unproven newfangled contraption designed to please the GC-phobic crowd who believe that RC is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, and who may not actually adopt D even after we've broken our backs bending over backwards for them. (And with a subject like "our sister", this RCStr business does not sound very appealing at all.) Whatever happened to improving *current* string handling for *current* users? It's making forking Phobos look like a less distant possibility than I had anticipated. :-( T -- People say I'm arrogant, and I'm proud of it.
