What did you expect as result ? put() is ***poorly designed***. The ddoc says
itself that "well, depending on the input and the output...". 

There is no constraint in put() and it uses internal checks such as "static if
(is(template!Stuff))" that automatically fail to report the right error line if
the error comes from another template such as the private "putChar()".

So in short:
- look at the result when using another type.
- tell if it's worth implementing it for char in char[]
- close.
