The problem is that static arrays aren't ranges (calling
popFront on them can't work, because their length isn't
mutable). However, you can slice a static array to get a
dynamic array which _is_ a range. e.g.
thing[].sort();
Just make sure that such a dynamic array does not outlive the
static array, or it will refer to invalid memory (which would
not be a problem in this case).

Ah thanks guys. I think I just got used to thinking arrays
would always be found to be ranges by the compiler. Good to
know!
Would just like to point out that this is design weirdness on
Phobos' part - the library I've been writing does not have this
problem.
