TDPL boasts the code:

void main()
{
  string a = "Hall\u00E5";
  wstring b = ", ";
  dstring c = "V\u00E4rld";
  auto d = b ~ c;           // d has type wstring, same as b
  a ~= d ~ '!';             // concatenate string with character
  writeln(a);
}

We are having second thoughts about allowing b ~ c. It may be just a bit too clever. Also, figuring out the result type is not a slam dunk. The pro arguments are that strings are already supported by the compiler in iteration, literals, and concatenation of a char[] with a dchar.

What say you?
