If that's what you want, it's easy enough to create a helper function which
you use instead of a cast which does the contract check as well. e.g.
char toChar(dchar c)
{
assert(isAscii(c));
return cast(char)c;
}
foreach(ref char c; str)
c = toChar(std.ascii.toLower(c));
It should be completely optimized out with -release and -inline.
