_This_ is the big problem. It wouldn't surprise me in the least
if the vast majority of range-based code out there does not
actually work properly with ranges which aren't implicitly
saved when they're copied. I mean, technically, you have to do
stuff like haystack.save.startsWith(needle) instead of
haystack.startsWith(needle) if you want your code to work right
with all forward ranges, but almost no one does that. And 99%
of the time the code works - but not always.
