The omission of dchar is on purpose. Phobos has characterized string as a bidirectional range of dchars. For every range where I do:foreach(e; range)e is of the type of the range. Except for char and wchar. This schizophrenia of type induction is very bad for D, and it's a good argument of why strings should not simply be arrays.
For many algorithms on strings, iterating by char is preferred over dchar, even for multibyte strings.
