What would work in the code above is 'choice':

But that hits another fact of D: arrays of chars are strings, 
which cannot be RandomAccessRange because individual chars must 
be decoded to form dchars.

One can use explicit index notation which is nearly as compact as 
the template parameter form:

   string salt = iota (0, 16)
      .map!(i => saltchars [uniform(0, $)])
      .array;
