That doesn't work?!?
Nope. It works for static arrays but not for const or immutable arrays. Try it. It'll fail. I don't know _why_ it doesn't work, but it doesn't. If it did, this would be a much smaller issue. It would be nice if templates were improved such that they instantiated range-based functions in a manner which worked for static arrays and const or immutable arrays, but if you could solve the problem by slicing a const or immutable array, it would make the situation far less problematic. - Jonathan M Davis
