           Summary: std.string.newline should be char[] not char[2]
           Product: D
           Version: 0.174
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: wbaxter@gmail.com


std.string.newline is char[2], which means if you do

    "astring"~newline

on a platform where newline is "\n" you'll get a lovely bonus Null character in your output.

It should either be made char[1] when it is one char, char[2] when it's not, or just char[] for all cases.

Fixed in DMD 0.176 by making it char[1] when it's just \n.
