Why does all these pass:
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(char[]) == char));
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(wstring) ==
immutable(wchar)));
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(byte[]) == byte));
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(ubyte[]) == ubyte));
auto range = iota(0, 10);
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(typeof(range)) ==
int));
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(immutable(ubyte)[])
== immutable(ubyte)));
But not this:
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(AsciiChar[]) ==
AsciiChar));
omg forgot to import std.range 🙄
But the question is kinda still valid, like in the case of
std.array.appender.

"Appender defines its element type with ElementEncodingType which
only passes immutability through for built-in string types"
