Hi!
I'm unsure what is the Russian equivalent for the term
"range", as in "D range", the generalization of a pair of
iterators.
I think "последовательность" (sequence) is the most
appropriate, because the defining characteristic of an input
range (most common one) is ability to provide data
sequentially. Also, afaik, some languages like F# and Clojure
use this term (often shortened to 'seq') for the same thing
that D calls ranges.
While sequence makes more sense for how std.range thinks of
ranges, I think the history of the term is closer to how we use
slices. So another (English) alternative to try might be a
"view". It's a fairly common term in SQL databases, so presumably
there's a translation for it in Russian.
