Here's where I'm struggling -- because a string provides indexing, slicing, length, etc. but Phobos ignores that. I can't make a new type that does the same thing. Not only that, but I'm finding the specializations of algorithms only work on the type "string", and nothing else.
One of the worst things about autodecoding is it is special, it *only* steps in for strings. Fortunately, however, that specialness enabled us to save things with byCodePoint and byCodeUnit.
