Why does this code complain at the last line about a missing [] operator overload?

auto buffer = new char[6];

chunked[1][2] = '!';

Same happens with wchar.
Dchar and byte work as expected.

UTF-8 auto decoding strikes again. :)

Even though the original container is char[], passing it through Phobos algorithms generated range of dchar. The thing is, those dchar elements are generated (decoded from chars) "on the fly" as one iterates over the range. Which means, there is no array of dchar to speak of, so there is no random access.
