This is something that will be done before New Years (if my list of

Iain,

Prior to this change my implementation was snowballing with stuff that was just going to get stripped out by the linker in the end. Now the only extra code I need for my simple "Hello World" is 2 lousy lines.

module object;
alias immutable(char)[]  string;

This is a huge win for me as I don't intend to port the entire D runtime, and I'm hoping the toolchain will only require me to add what's absolutely necessary for my code.

Thanks,
Mike
