Hi!

This gives an error (cannot deduce template function from argument
types):

import std.algorithm;
void main () {
    char [] c;

}

Why is "char []" so special that it can't be sorted?

For example, if I know the array contains only ASCII characters,
sorting it sounds no different to sorting an "int []".

Hmm... this doesn't work either:

    import std.algorithm;
    import std.utf;
    void main () {
        char [] c;
        sort (c.byCodeUnit);
    }

But IMO it should.

It can't be a RandomAccessRange because it cannot satisfy random access at O(1) time.
