Typo: "Attenpting" (at least two places)

I think popBack for bidirectional ranges is broken. Consider I have a range of 1000 elements and I take 5 of them. Then popBack would have to back off 996 elements. That is not what your code is doing, and it would not satisfy the complexity requirements of popBack.

Please keep the popBack code only for random-access ranges.


Thanks,

Andrei

Fixed bugzilla 3876: std.range.Take back/popBack methods don't work correctly.
Thanks to Philippe Sigaud for the proposed solution.  It was helpful.

The former implementation simply used input.back for Take.back.  It didn't work 
if input.length was larger than maxAvailable.  For example:
   input = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
   s = take(input, 3)            // [ 1, 2, 3 ]
   s.back == input.back == 5     // wrong!

Take must pop all the excess elements from the input ([4,5] in the above 
example) to provide correct back element.  This change makes it to do so if 
input is purely bidirectional.  (random access is used instead if possible.)

- Added Take.opSlice
- Added some enforcement error messages
