You use ranges a lot. Would it break any of your code?

I need to try the changes to be sure. But the magnitude of this change
is so large that I guess some code will surely break.

One advantage of your change is that this code will work:

auto s = "hello".dup;
s.sort();

Which it shouldn't unless there is an ascii type or some such.

Correct. This is a win, not a failure, of the current approach. To sort the bytes in "hello" write:

s.representation.sort();

which is indicative to the human and technically correct.
