The issue is that strings aren't input ranges in betterC [1], due to autodecoding.

Normally you'd work around this using std.utf.byCodeUnit, but that's currently broken, because std.utf attempts to import core.exception.UnicodeException from druntime at module scope [2], causing any betterC program that imports std.utf to fail compilation.

So, for now, I think the best you can do is probably to copy-paste byCodeUnit into its own source file, and use that until std.utf is fixed.

Oh right, thanks!
Its the third time that autodecoding bite me in betterC and i always forgot of the possibility.
