Right now we have joiner(), which given several ranges of T, offers a
range of T. Developing along that idea, we should have two opposite
functions: itemize() and collect().
collect() is sometimes used as the name for map() in some languages
(e.g., Ruby, Smalltalk). I don't think it's a problem but maybe a note
in the documentation would be warranted to point people to map.
Alternatively it could be called something like bundle or parcel.
Love bundle/parcel! Probably bundle more because it's more obvious
it's a verb.

Well, both bundle and parcel can be both nouns and verbs.
We already have that function and it's called `chunks`:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_range.html#chunks
That's different because it chunks in-place, whereas bundle() would use
its own buffer.
