Different error now:

-----
C:\dmd-git\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\conv.d(3873): Error: static
assert  "immutable(char) cannot be emplaced from a string."
C:\dmd-git\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\array.d(2522):
instantiated from here: emplaceRef!string
test.d(9):        instantiated from here: put!(Take!(Repeat!string))
-----

Anyone has ideas how to fix this (or if it should be fixed?).

Yeah, use the "actual" std.range.put:

//----
void main()
{
    // Error: casting string to char is deprecated
    // Error: static assert  "Cannot put a dchar into a Appender!(string)"
    Appender!string x;
    put(x, repeat(" ", 4));

    // Error: casting string to dchar is deprecated
    Appender!dstring y;
    put(y, repeat(" ").take(4));
}
//----

This is why you should "never" use put "UFCS-style".
Always "put(a, b)".

Now, when all that is said and done, there's still an internal error, so it needs fixing.

I don't think "Appender" should be able to handle this "natively" though. It should have given a "no matching function" error.

Ahh good catch. One of the rare downsides of UFCS.

Code in comment 2 works now with v2.072.2, closing.
