If I hand you a chihuahua for grooming, why am I getting back a
pit bull? I simply want a groomed chihuahua. Why do I need to

A magician should never reveal his secrets, but this I do share.
.sort() returns a SortedRange [1] that encapsulates the range.
The trick is to use .release() to release the controlled range
and return it, e.g.
import std.algorithm : sort;
auto keys = aa.keys.sort().release;
