Many useful ideas in this thread. One I don't recall seeing - a
standard way to denote whether a routine is lazy or eager. I'm
finding this to be a key piece of information. Many standard
library routines document this in the description, but presence
and presentation is not very consistent. It'd be nice to have
this presented in a standard way for routines operating on
ranges.

Yes this something important that is missing. It is currently up
to the documentation of a particular function to explain this. I
think originally std.range was supposed to be lazy and
std.algorithm - eager, but currently it's not a clear cut. Also
in different contexts you may need a lazy version of an eager
algorithm and vice-versa.
