Just remove the special case of automatic conversion from strings to dchar[] and you will have one less surprize. After all, it was a deliberate design decision to make strings arrays.
Make dchar ranges explicitly, you can't code without writing what you want, right? Or write a special case library for strings, that will do the job for you.
