It seems like the best way to go is to use dchar for strings (i.e. not have
the struct as a template) as I need real characters for intersection purposes.
When it comes to lookup, any input will need converting to dchars (I expect
this can be done on the fly).

In C++ you would use iterators to do this kind of input conversion. I don't
know what the technique is in D.

like import std.array; string s; dchar first = s.front; dchar last = s.back; or import std.utf string s; int old_offset; int offset = stride(s, old_offset) dchar d = decode(s, old_offset + offset); ?
