Is there any update on this? This question of the distinction
between reading/writing to a file stream vs to a string seems
recurrent.
I am interested in writing to a string and am wondering if there
is a reason for having to use explicitly the convenience
functions std.conv.text() (or to!str

In C++ (not C), when you wanted to parse a string, you were
supposed to put the string inside a stream (std::stringstream),
and then parse that new stream stream.
As a general rule, stringstream also allowed abstracting a string
into a more generic stream.
