One more question I am asking those kind of questions to

auto totalStr = chain(stringB.replicate(bCount),
stringC.replicate(cCount));
writeln(typeof(totalStr.array()).stringof);
---->dchar[]
But
auto totalStr = chain(stringB.repeat(bCount),
stringC.repeat(cCount));
writeln(typeof(totalStr.array()).stringof);
---->dchar[][]
It seems to me a little inconsistent. range.repeat and
array.replicate gives result in difference dimension.
Is there any explanation or logic that I am missing which
results this behaviour?
std.range.repeat is a lazy version unlike std.array.replicate:
5.repeat(3).writeln; // a lazy version // [5, 5, 5]
[5].replicate(3).writeln; // [5, 5, 5]
// but
[5].repeat(3).writeln; // a lazy version // [[5], [5], [5]]
