The algorithms in std.algorithm are great. They operate the same on arrays/slices and generic ranges. But they return their own range-types. Often this ok but sometimes you need a T[]. You may say to just use array() but this allocates a new array! I think you sometimes want to get a slice to the original array. I wrote this function. It checks if it is ok what it is doing at runtime.
I'd argue that functions in question should return slice if the input range is sliceable. IIRC they do this when possible e.g. as in find but not filter, am I missing something?
