Could it be extended to accept multiple values? (sort of like chain)
eg.
foreach(x; makeRange(23, 7, 1990)) // NO allocations!
{
....
}
I would use this in a lot of places I currently jump through hoops to get
a
static array without allocating.
That's a good idea. IMHO, the real solution would be to make an easy way
to create static arrays, and slice them when you want a range.
It's not quite the same thing, static arrays are not ranges and once you
slice them you no longer have a value type, and might be referring to stack
allocated data. With... this thing, the length/progress is not encoded in
the type (making it rangeable) but the data _is_ contained in the type,
making it safe to pass around. The best of both worlds, in some situations.
That does seem good to have. What would be a better name than makeRange?
