After checking some of those 132 places, they are in generic functions 
that take ranges. std.algorithm.equal, std.range.take - stuff like that.

That's expected, of course, as the range primitives are used there. But 
those places are not the ones we'd have to fix. We'd have to fix the 
code that uses those generic functions on strings.
