What do contiguous ranges offer that isn't already offered by a random access range that hasSlicing? If it doesn't offer significantly more power than what we already have, I doubt Andrei would agree to adding it to Phobos. We already have enough work on our hands trying to maintain the current diverse set of ranges. T -- What do you call optometrist jokes? Vitreous humor.
