          Issue ID: 18781
           Summary: std.string.replace: RangeError when replacing with
                    inconsistent string types
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: dhasenan gmail.com

void main()
{
    import std.string : replace;
    "”quote”"w.replace("”", `"`);
}


This crashes with:

core.exception.RangeError /usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/array.d(2167): Range

Note that the string operated on is a wstring, and the replacements are
strings.

Conversely, calling `replace(string, wstring, wstring)` tends to result in
invalid UTF-8 sequences:

    "☃ world.".replace("☃"w, `:`w);

std.utf.UTFException /usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/utf.d(1380): Invalid UTF-8
sequence (at index 2)
