I came across the issue where using .array after .joiner caused the changes to the output. The program is at https://dpaste.dzfl.pl/0885ba2eddb4 . I tried to debug through the output but I couldn't get the exact issue. It will be helpful if someone confirms this as a bug.
It's not a bug per se, just probably documentation being not clear enough. Essentially it's the same issue as with File.byLine: a range that mutates its state, so it's ok to consume lazily but if you just store references (as array() does) you get references to the same mutated value as result.
Quick fix: r.chunks(2).map!permutations.joiner.map!array.array.writeln; i.e. copy each permutation to separate array before it's gone.
