Bug 8176 – Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (record) of type CsvRecord!(string,cast(Malformed)0,string,dchar) to string

std.csv looks just great on the first glance, but it's a pain to use in reality. One of the reasons is below: private import std.csv; void process(string smth) {} void main() { string str = "A \" is now part of the data"; auto records = csvReader!(string,Malformed.ignore)(str); auto record = records.front; assert(record.front == str); process(record); } test.d(13): Error: function test.process (string smth) is not callable using argument types (CsvRecord!(string,cast(Malformed)0,string,dchar)) test.d(13): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (record) of type CsvRecord!(string,cast(Malformed)0,string,dchar) to string

The error is correct, because record is a range of strings, but process expects a string. Probably it was meant to use process(record.front). That compiles. So here is not really a bug.
