Range-based functions see strings and char[] to arrays of dchar, but is

I find this a bit silly:


import std.algorithm: copy;
void main() {
     char[5] arr1 = "hello", arr2;
     arr1[].copy(arr2[]); // Error.
     dchar[arr1.length] arr3;
     arr1[].copy(arr3[]); // OK.
}


What do you think?

I agree. I would expect copy to maintain the same type.
