UTF-8 auto decoding strikes again. :)
Even though the original container is char[], passing it through Phobos
algorithms generated range of dchar. The thing is, those dchar elements
are generated (decoded from chars) "on the fly" as one iterates over the
range. Which means, there is no array of dchar to speak of, so there is
no random access.
