I miss typedef. I think this is exactly what typedef was intended

struct Typedef( T ) {

Usage:
alias Typedef!( int ) myInt;
Is this what you want?
By the way, ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 (that was the whole
point), so there's no reason why 'char[]' can't still be used for
ASCII strings, right?
AS far as I have understood (I am no Unicode guru), in some locales
toUpper and toLower map ASCII chars to non-ASCII chars. So ASCII being a
strict subset of UTF-8 is not always true.
I only know one example (in turkish):
i < - > İ
ı < - > I
That's a big issue because toUpper/toLower needs a locale to provide
correct result.
