It's really not all that hard to special case for strings, especially when you're operating primarily on code units. And I think that the lexer should be flexible enough to be usable with ranges other than strings. We're trying to make most stuff in Phobos range-based, not string-based or array-based.
Ok. I just don't think it's worth giving up some performance or make the design overly complicated just to make a range interface. But if ranges doesn't cause these problems I'm happy.
