But the ElementType really is string. `repeat` "repeats one value". So if you
pass a string, the elements of the range are that one string again and again.
Then you try to chain a range of dchars (a string) to that range of strings,
which fails as expected.

You have to either join the range of strings from `repeat` into a range of
dchars (std.algorithm.joiner), or turn the single string you want to chain on
into a range (std.range.only).
