Note that because strings are treated as ranges of dchar regardless of what their actual character type is, arrays of char and wchar (so-called "narrow" strings) are not consider to have slicing or random access by the traits in std.range. So, hasSlicing!string is false, though for anything other than an array of char or wchar, it will do what you're looking for, whereas for arrays of char or wchar, you really shouldn't be using the slice operator on them without knowing that they're what you're operating on so that you take the Unicode issues into account correctly. - Jonathan M Davis
