What about e.g. joiner?
Compiler error. Better than what it does now.
I believe everything that does only concatenation will work correctly.
That's why joiner() is one of those algorithms that should accept
strings directly without going through any decoding (but it may need to
recode the joining element itself, of course).
This means that a string is a range. What is it a range of? If you want
to make it a range of code units, I think you will lose that battle.
If you want to special-case joiner for strings, that's always possible.
Or string could be changed to be a range of dchar struct explicitly.
Then at least joiner makes sense, and I can reasonably explain why it
behaves the way it does.
