Too much over-generalization is bad, and not just for D newbies. So std.string may contain wrappers specialized for strings. You may implement a generic std.algorithm.join, and then implement the std.string.join that uses just strings (the second argument may be a single char too) and calls std.algorithm.join for its implementation.
