--- Comment #1 from b2.temp at gmx.com ---
front(char[]) is not assignable, it's not a reference. If you look at the
contraint,

  "range.front = value "

must be compilable. front(char[]) is not assignable because it decodes an
undetermined amount of bytes.

That said there's no valid reason to disallow to fill with a char since it can
fill exactly array.length times the array.
