When I run the code (compiled on DMD 2.067.1):

I get a weird result of
AaAAaAAaAABbBbCcCcCCcCcCC
A a A A a A A a A A B b B b C c
C
c C C c C c C C
Any ideas why?
Some way or another the type was converted to a dchar[]
during this process:
A.cycle.take(seg1len).array
~B.cycle.take(seg2len).array
~C.cycle.take(seg3len).array
Why would it change the type so sneaky like?... Except for maybe
its the default behavior with string due to 32bits => (typically
one grapheme)?
I bet cycle did this.
