That range is an output range all right, and the way you output to it is by simply calling the delegate! <http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/trunk/phobos/std/range.d#L227> http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/trunk/phobos/std/range.d#L227 It's still early where I live, but... For the callable case, why just accepting E[] instead of any range with E as element? Though, thinking about it, I right now have no idea how to put that into a template constraint, given only R and E. Hmm...
Good point. I haven't thought of it that way - I used arrays as a lingua franca buffer. Your suggestion is interesting. I see a risk of infinite regression in writing the constraint, but the idea warrants more discussion.
