If a struct defines a custom toString method and satisfies isInputRange, then
to!string(Struct) will match multiple toImpl templates. The solution is to add
an extra template constraint to the input range toImpl to detect structs with
custom toString methods.

[Line 194 in DMD 2.053]
T toImpl(T, S)(S s, in T leftBracket = "[", in T separator = ", ",
    in T rightBracket = "]")
if (isSomeString!T && !isSomeChar!(ElementType!S) &&
(isInputRange!S || isInputRange!(Unqual!S)) )

-This is the constraint to add.
&& !(is(S == struct) && is(typeof(&S.init.toString))) )
