You can then go to the documentation for
std.range.primitives.isRandomAccessRange [2], where you'll
find the following:
"Although char[] and wchar[] (as well as their qualified
versions including string and wstring) are arrays,
isRandomAccessRange yields false for them because they use
variable-length encodings (UTF-8 and UTF-16 respectively).
These types are bidirectional ranges only."
There's also the shuffle module in mach.range which doesn't do
any auto-decoding:
https://github.com/pineapplemachine/mach.d/blob/master/mach/range/random/shuffle.d
There is no auto-decoding going on here, as char[] and wchar[]
are rejected outright since they are not considered random access
ranges.
