Watching D evolve from the outside there seems to be a lot of ongoing discussion

thinking about iterators.
Can someone please explain in plain words just exactly what a range is and how
it differs from the iterator concept (if that's appropriate???) and what are
the benefits
from a data modeling and access perspective.
Sure, I'm clueless, though suspect many other bystanders would appreciate a
succinct heads-up.
Thanks,

I'm probably not the right person to answer your question, since I have
virtually no experience with C++ iterators. Instead I'll just refer you
to Andrei's own article on the subject:

Please don't hesitate to ask again if it didn't clear things up for you. :)
