There are a lot of algorithms in std.algorithm that operate on "foo(Range, Needles...)(Range range, Needles needles)".

Needles can be anything, in particular, either an "element" or a "range".

The thing is that every now and then, you want to save the entirety of (the ranges) inside needles. EG, I want to be able to write:
foo(range, needles.saveAll);
[...snip...]
Any thought on how do get this working?
size_t r = startsWith!pred(haystack, needles.saveAll);

Sorry if im misunderstanding, but doesn't filter do this?
Example:
import std.stdio, std.algorithm, std.range;
void main() {
    auto x = [
        [1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 6],
        [7, 8, 9],
        [10, 11, 12]
    ];
//haystack // needle // needle auto y = x.filter!(a => (a == [4, 5, 6] || a == [7, 8, 9])).array;
    y.writeln;
}
