Hello!
Is there a convenient way to get rank of range a.k.a. count of
dimensions in compile time? Like:

static assert( rankOf!(uint[]) == 1);
static assert( rankOf!(uint[][][]) == 3);

I'm not aware of one but this seems to work:

template rankOf(R) {
    import std.range : isInputRange, ElementType;

    static if (isInputRange!R) {
        enum rankOf = rankOf!(ElementType!R) + 1;
    } else {
        enum rankOf = 0;
    }
}

unittest {
    static assert (rankOf!long == 0);
    static assert (rankOf!(int[]) == 1);
    static assert (rankOf!(int[][][]) == 3);
}

void main() {
}
