Hello,
will there be sometime in future _d_string version of std.string.find(),  
std.regex.*(),.. (maybe some more widechar unaware, but these two I  
noticed first)?
it really hurts me to have entire program in widechar, and converting it  
to utf8 for calling regex, really slow.

I'm pretty sure that "sometime in the future" that will indeed be
true. Just don't know when! :-)

Actually, what I'd really like to see is CTFE versions of the
functions in std.string.

Right now, if I want a compile-time find() function, I basically have
to write a new one. The problem is that the existing std.string
functions call other functions that have extern(C) declations, thus
making them unusable at compile time.

Yossarian, you might find that std.algorithm.find() can be used in
place of std.string.find(). It's type-agnostic, and hugely more
powerful.

thank you. i've got my own find rewritten for use dstring, but using some  
standard function would be much better.
