It's this very problem that leads some people to argue that string should be its own type which holds an array of code units (which can be accessed when needed) rather than doing what we do now where we try and treat a string as both an array of chars and a range of dchars. The result is schizophrenic.
Making such a string type would be terribly inefficient. It would make D completely uncompetitive for processing strings.
