But I have not gotten around to pitching it because I need to come up
with a really good solution :) Walter is so sour on any tail-const
solution from past attempts that it has to be bullet-proof and easy.

Just add some form of generics and allow passing type constructors as
generic arguments.
struct range[@type_constructor c]{
...
@property c(inout(T)) front() inout { ... }
void popFront() { ... }
bool empty() const { ... }
}
range![inout] opSlice() inout { ... }
That isn't enough as the range!inout must become range!mutable or
range!const or whatever after being returned.
The inout resolution of opSlice takes care of that.
