But the value fits into a char; a dchar is a waste of space. Why on Earth would a different type be given for the front value than the type of the elements themselves?
UTF-8 strings are decoded by the range primitives. That is, `front` returns one Unicode code point (type dchar) that's pieced together from up to four UTF-8 code units (type char). A code point does not fit into the 8 bits of a char.
