          Issue ID: 13650
           Summary: std.algorithm.copy doesn't work with char/wchar
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com

/////// test.d //////
import std.algorithm;

void main()
{
    char[100] a, b;
    copy(a[], b[]);
}
/////////////////////

test.d(6,6): Error: template std.algorithm.copy cannot deduce function from
argument types !()(char[], char[]), candidates are:
C:\Soft\dmd2d\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\algorithm.d(8609,8):       
std.algorithm.copy(Range1, Range2)(Range1 source, Range2 target) if
(isInputRange!Range1 && isOutputRange!(Range2, ElementType!Range1))

Auto-decode strikes again!
