Although "bla" is an array of char, it is a range of dchar; and dchar
automatically converts to int.
But this is the kind of unintuitive shit that treating char arrays not as
arrays in *some* parts of D causes great confusion and silly limitations.
The above should be the opposite, the first line should pass and the
second should fail.

I don't think so, because it's just dchar to int conversion.
You are likely to get an "invalid" response due to the strict views of
Andrei, but I think it's unacceptable behavior for fill to say it cannot
fill a string with string data.
