But that's exactly what a narrow string does :D: s.front yields a 
dchar, but s[0] yields a char.

The only difference is that a string can be detected as a 
"isNarrowString".

A RA that contains chars would have limited algorithm 
capabilities, and be only used with care, but in such a case, I 
think indexOf would be one of those algorithms that should 
specifically work.

In any case, it shouldn't be that big of a problem. I started the 
thread without realizing that string.indexOf existed ... sorry.
