As I see it, a ubyte 0x20 could be decoded to an ASCII char '
', and likewise to wchar or dchar. It doesn't (to me) make
sense to decode a char to a wchar or dchar. Anyway, you've
shown me how decodeFront can be used, so great!

This is the overload you want, let's check if it matches:
ref S str - your InputRange can be
According to the std.utf documentation,
decode will only work with strings and random access ranges of
code units with length and slicing, whereas decodeFront will
work with any input range of code units.
However, I can't seem to get such a usage to compile: the
following code
import
