foreach(char c; 0..256) doesn't work even though the upper bound is 255:
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (256) of type int to char

Maybe instead disallow: foreach(char c; 0..257) ?

Is that a bug, or how would we achieve iterating over all chars without
resorting to :
foreach(c_; 0..256){
char c=c_.to!char;
}
