Things like this should "just work"..

Tried adding 'int' and 'char[]' or 'auto' .. no dice.
Can someone explain why this fails, and if this is a permanent or
temporary limitation of D/MD.
This is only available using opApply style iteration. Using range
iteration does not give you this ability.
It's not a permanent limitation per se, but there is no plan at the moment
to add multiple parameters to range iteration.
One thing that IS a limitation though: we cannot overload on return
values. So the obvious idea of overloading front to return tuples of
various types, would not be feasible. opApply can do that because the
delegate is a parameter.
