I really wish we would just *make the darn decision* already, whether to kill off autodecoding or not, and MAKE IT CONSISTENT ACROSS PHOBOS, instead of introducing this schizophrenic dichotomy where some functions give you a range of dchar while others give you a range of char/wchar, and the two don't work well together. This is totally going to make a laughing stock of D one day. T -- Guns don't kill people. Bullets do.
