Even if you do get how ranges work it can be difficult to figure out where a function is located, in std.algorithms, std.string, std.array, std.uni or std.range. Like, "is this a string operation or a general container algorithm?". Why is there a std.string.indexOf function? Isn't that a general array operation or algorithm? Isn't std.string.(left|right)Justify a general operation as well?
That's a documentation issue. We've pursued generalization of string algorithms with good result. As such indexOf is susceptible for generalization. However, the justification functions are unlikely to be useful for other data types because most don't have a notion of "filler" object.
