Seems to me a Slist of char nodes should be pretty innocuous.
Looks related to the fact that the element type of a char[] range is dchar, not char. So, SList!dchar works:
auto c = SList!dchar('a', 'b' ,'c'); SList!ubyte may make sense too but it requires a cast: auto u = SList!ubyte(cast(ubyte[])[ 'a', 'b' ,'c' ]); Ali
