Actually, all string variants are dchar ranges :)  And your solution is  
less general, dchar ranges don't have to be arrays.

However, I don't think in practice there are any real non-array dchar  
ranges...

One thing your version does do is explicitly say the parameters are const,  
which you couldn't do with a non-array dchar range.
