You can do
for(; !range.empty; range.popFront())
{
auto e = range.front;
}
without the compiler doing anything at all. But if you want
for(e; range)
{}
you need a way in the language for the compiler to translate that into the
above. UFCS has nothing to do with it. All UFCS does is take a.b(c, d) and
make it b(a, c, d).
