What exactly doesn't work?
Forward ranges.
I see; retro requires a bidirectional range.
I was thinking about
void main()
{
import std.algorithm : count;
import std.range : drop;
import std.stdio : writeln;
auto a = [1,2,3,4,5];
writeln(a.drop(a.count-3));
}
But it has the downside that it calls front/empty/pop 2*n times.
What about using a rangified circular buffer of the same size you
want the tail to be, and lazily fill it?
