I understand that Base64 uses Ranges, and since String is seen

I am guessing, for this reason, auto btoa =
std.base64.Base64.encode("Blah"); doesn't work. You need to be
casting the string to ubyte[] to make it work which doesn't
look and feel nice at all.
Can/shall we add another alias into the module for encode
method, so it accepts a string, and casts it to ubyte[] by
itself?
This should do the trick:
