Well, topic says it all. Why is the string parameter for the Exception
class in object.di an immutable(char[])?
A const(char[]) works for both, immutable(char[]) types and char[]
types. why this limitation?
Normally, I'd agree with you, but if the exception gets a
immutable(char)[], it can store it without duplication, and without
worry it will change it.
If you passed in a const, then you'd *have* to duplicate it.
If you have a char[] or a const(char)[] that you want to pass in, call
idup on it.
Better yet: to!string(whatever). Leaves actual immutable stuff
non-duplicated/
