Hi, everyone!

I'm very new to D. I see a function called [iota](https://dlang.org/library/std/range/iota.html)

`Iota` seems a [Greek letter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iota). Why does it relate to range?

It came from C++. See notes here: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/iota

Which took it from APL
