----
bug.d(5): Error: template std.string.indexOf cannot deduce function from
argument types !()(char[25], char, int), candidates are:
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/string.d(346):
std.string.indexOf(Range)(Range s, in dchar c, in CaseSensitive cs =
CaseSensitive.yes) if (isInputRange!Range &&
isSomeChar!(ElementEncodingType!Range))
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/string.d(471):        std.string.indexOf(T, ulong
n)(ref T[n] s, in dchar c, in CaseSensitive cs = CaseSensitive.yes) if
(isSomeChar!T)
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/string.d(545):
std.string.indexOf(Range)(Range s, in dchar c, in size_t startIdx, in
CaseSensitive cs = CaseSensitive.yes) if (isInputRange!Range &&
isSomeChar!(ElementEncodingType!Range))
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/string.d(641):        std.string.indexOf(Range,
Char)(Range s, const(Char)[] sub, in CaseSensitive cs = CaseSensitive.yes) if
(isForwardRange!Range && isSomeChar!(ElementEncodingType!Range) &&
isSomeChar!Char)
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/string.d(794):        std.string.indexOf(Char1,
Char2)(const(Char1)[] s, const(Char2)[] sub, in size_t startIdx, in
CaseSensitive cs = CaseSensitive.yes) if (isSomeChar!Char1 && isSomeChar!Char2)
----

The old (Char)(Char[]) signatures would trigger an implicit conversion of
static to dynamic arrays, the new (Range)(Range r) signatures don't.

A single overload of indexOf was fixed, but we need to go through all functions that have been rangified since 2.067.0 and check for this bug. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3191

The only fully compatible overload is (T, size_t n)(ref T[n] s), which should
forward to the rangified function.
