Is there a way to do this, or do we need something similar to `collect` in Phobos? Something like

import std.container.array : Array;

0.iota(n).collect!Array

You mean semantics like this?

Container collect(Container, Range) (Range r)
    if(isOutputRange!Container)
{
    Container container;
    r.copy(container);
    return container;
}

Yes, along with inference of element type of the container.
