Using reduce for factorial, seems to require iota, not a bad things per se, with ulongs:
reduce!"a*b"(1, iota(1, n + 1))
works fine. Now switch to BigInt:
reduce!"a*b"(one, iota(one, n + one))
fails to compile, one and n + one are of different types. Problem is
that one is immutable but n + one is not. I can't remember how to create
an immutable value as an expression so:
immutable BigInt v = n + one;
reduce!"a*b"(one, iota(one, v))
now I get an error telling me that I can't use iota because BigInt is
not a float or an integer. Is this a known bug? Yes it is:

Does anyone know how to fix this 3.5 year old bug that is a blocker for
doing anything with factorial and Fibonacci Series.?
