A SList is usually implemented with a chain of 2-structs that contain a cargo
plus a forward pointer. So you can't walk them backwards with retro. And indeed
this doesn't compile:

void main() {
    import std.stdio: writeln;
    import std.container: SList;
    import std.range: retro;
    auto list = SList!int([1, 7, 42]);
    list[].writeln;
    list[].retro.writeln;
    list.retro.writeln;
}
