char[] is handled by Phobos as a range of dchar, ergo it does not have

I'm surprised that array.reverse does work (using 2.057)
array.reverse is *not* the same as reverse(array). The former is a
compiler-builtin property for all arrays (the compiler believes that
anything of the form T[] is an array, even if it's a narrow-width string
type), and the latter is a range function.
D will continue to trip over itself and fall into newbies until it makes a
decision to make strings not also be arrays.
