Walter Bright:
There are probably only a handful of people on the planet who actually understand C++ ref. I wished very hard to avoid that with D ref.
When C++ programmers say that D-style ranges can't do everything C++ iterators can do, they seem to miss that sometimes it's a good idea to adopt a simpler language feature, that doesn't cover 100% usages, if it covers 80-90% of the cases, and has a simpler syntax, and simpler semantics to understand for the programmer.
