The latter two do autodecoding, not coversion as the rest of
the language.
This seems to be a miscommunication with semantics. This is not
auto-decoding at all; you're decoding, but there is nothing
"auto" about it. This code is an explicit choice by the
programmer to do something.
On the other hand, using std.range.primitives.front for narrow
strings is auto-decoding because the programmer has not made a
choice, the choice is made for the programmer.
