Right, but in that case, the constructor isn't
this(string iString)
{
  //Copy string here
}

but rather
this(ref string ioString)
{
    //Use the string, and pop off all used elements.
}

There's a pretty big difference implementation wise.

Also, since we passed a S*, we can't call the constructor anymore (unless you emplace I guess)
