There's a doc bug inn "Filling a string":

	char[] str = "hello";
	str[1..2] = '?';		// str is "h??lo"

str is "h?llo" and not "h??lo". Dunno if there is a problem too with the C++ example.

Hi, I have another example for that, but same problem, somehow the end index is the real end index+1. I thought it was implemented like that in the language, so that if you wanted to fill the complete array you would do:

str[0..length]='?'.

You're right, I'll fix it.
