This range does not have to be a string, it can be a something over a file, stream, socket. It can also be the result of an algorithm, because you *can* use algorithm on ranges of char, and it makes sense if you know what you are doing.
Correct, that's the whole point of using a range - it can come from anything.
If Walter discovers the lexer does not work with a socket, a "file.byChunk.join", and has to do expensive utf-8 decoding for the lexer to work because it can only use range of dchar, and not range of char (except that it special-cased strings), he may not be happy.
No may about it, I wouldn't be happy :-)
