You can use std.utf.byCodeUnit to get ranges of chars:
A bit verbose, but I suppose that will do.
/* Having char elements isn't enough. Need to turn the
range into an
array via std.array.array: */
auto r = regex(joined.array);
matchFirst("won't compile", r); /* compiles */
}
If we have a range of char elements, won't that do? regex() uses
the standard isSomeString!S constraint to take any range of chars.
