Characters are not the problem. remove works fine on a range of chars, 
when the elements are assignable lvalues. char[] as a range has neither 
assignable elements, nor lvalue elements. That is, lines 3 and 4 here 
don't compile:
----
import std.range: front;
char[] a = ['f', 'o', 'o'];
a.front = 'g';
auto ptr = &a.front;
----
