Know what? I've been thinking for a while that "sequence" would be quite a good
name for D ranges. Including lazy "on-demand-generated" ones (like maps),
infinite ones (cubes of natural ints), and plain views (D slices, reversed,
every third item, filters in general...).
Then one "traverses" a sequence (= iteration) just like an in-memory
collection. And/or traversal of in-memory collection actually happens via a
(possibly implicite) standard sequence of the collection.

I agree, in such things you need a two step process, as in brainstorming a
phase of inflation and ideas creation, followed by the phase phase of critical
thinking and choice.
Seems phase #1 is well engaged ;-)
