I'm wondering why it was done.

In std.string, the functions previously worked with const(char)[]. Now, they
all work with invariant(char)[] instead, taking one in, and passing one back.

What is the reasoning behind that? Them promising not to change the string
makes sense, but requiring invariant doesn't seem quite right to me.
