This can be common if the function is a member function that returns
some kind of a range on internal data, for example:

import std.range;
struct S
{
    int[] arr;
    auto range() { return cycle(arr).stride(2); }
}

There's no need to make "range" a template here, but specifying the
return type isn't always possible or easy to do.
