Also, with implicit casts we wouldn't even need to bother about having a
different names for lazy and non-lazy results, we could just do:
string[] parts = str.split();
and it would implicitly convert the lazy range to an array. Can this be d
one
with alias this? Would need to test.
struct Range(T)
{
T[] toArray();
alias toArray this;
... other range things here...
}
Sadly it doesn't work. I was hopeful when I found this works:
struct X { int x; alias x this; }
auto x = X(5);
int y = x; // works!
but if you alias a method that returns int to 'this', that line fails.
Looks pretty much like this bug. Put your vote on it.

There's also such an example in the original enhancement proposal for
alias this from Andrei.
