Bug 11895 – Add Strings Overview page to Phobos documentation

Recent forum discussions[1] and a lot of anecdotal accounts by many people have made it clear that learning how to work with strings in D can be hard because of the sheer number of modules involved. You must be familiar with std.string, std.array, std.algorithm, std.range, std.format, and std.uni at the very least to get a handle on where to find many string related functions. The Strings Overview page would serve as an introduction to how strings in D work and, most importantly, a one page reference of all of the functions you would be interested in while working with strings in D (which can be easily searched). 1. http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]

I will do this, I have some experience with std.string
