To add to this, another option is to use std.string.representation to cast a string to immutable(ubyte)[] - or an array of whatever the corresponding integer type is if you're not dealing with immutable(char)[] - and operate on that instead. But you can't use string as-is and have a range of char. - Jonathan M Davis
