Alias std.range.primitives.ElementEncodingType

The encoding element type of R. For narrow strings (char[], wchar[] and their qualified variants including string and wstring), ElementEncodingType is the character type of the string. For all other types, ElementEncodingType is the same as ElementType.

alias ElementEncodingType(R) = E;

Example

import std.range : iota;
// internally the range stores the encoded type
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(char[])  == char));

static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(wstring) == immutable(wchar)));

static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(byte[]) == byte));

auto range = iota(0, 10);
static assert(is(ElementEncodingType!(typeof(range)) == int));
