The code below should either be rejected, or work correctly.
The particularly problematic case is:   s[0..2] = 'ä', which looks perfectly
reasonable, but creates garbage.
I'm a bit confused about non-ASCII char literals, since although they are typed
as 'char', they can't be stored in a char... This just seems wrong.

----
int bug6458()
{
    char [] s = "abcdef".dup;
    s[0] = 'ä';
    assert(s == "äcdef");
    return 34;
}
void main()
{
    bug6458();
}

Surely this has been reported before, but I can't find it.
