           Summary: foreach(char c; 0..256) doesn't work even though the
                    upper bound is 255
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: thelastmammoth gmail.com



foreach(char c; 0..256) doesn't work even though the upper bound is 255:
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (256) of type int to char

Maybe instead disallow: foreach(char c; 0..257) ?

Is that a bug, or how would we achieve iterating over all chars without
resorting to :
foreach(c_; 0..256){
char c=c_.to!char;
}

This is similar to what I've ran into 2 years ago:
