IO functions usually work with octets, not characters, so an
extra encoding step is needed. For encoding character arrays to
UTF-#, there's std.string.representation, and std.encoding might
have something for arbitrary ranges.
Avoid slicing ranges; not all ranges support it. If you
absolutely need it (you don't here) then add hasSlicing to the
constraint.
isSomeChar can tell you if a type (like the ranges element type)
is a character.
