The code shouldn't compile. It's trying to chain an array of strings and a
string. The types don't match. However, the error is _horrible_. Since the
given arguments won't compile with chain, they shouldn't pass chain's template
constraint (either that or chain must have a series of static asserts which
output informative error messages for types which won't work with chain). But
obviously, chain's template constraint is passing with arguments which fail to
compile with chain, and that needs to be fixed.

Issue 8367 - Insufficient constraints for chain

The error message from compiling the bug's sample code after this change is:

```
bug.d(11): Error: template std.range.chain does not match any function template
declaration. Candidates are:
