Enum std.traits.member isSomeString
Detect whether T is one of the built-in string types.
The built-in string types are Char[], where Char is any of char,
wchar or dchar, with or without qualifiers.
Static arrays of characters (like char[80]) are not considered
built-in string types.
Declaration
enum isSomeString(T) = is(StringTypeOf!T) && !isAggregateType!T && !isStaticArray!T;
Example
static assert(!isSomeString!int);
static assert(!isSomeString!(int[]));
static assert(!isSomeString!(byte[]));
static assert(!isSomeString!(typeof(null)));
static assert(!isSomeString!(char[4]));
enum ES : string { a = "aaa", b = "bbb" }
static assert( isSomeString!ES);
