Bounds checking. If iota's length is not expressible as a

Just to clarify - the bit about `std.conv.to()` is just an
example.
A better solution in this specific case would be to check once,
while the iota() range is being constructed, whether its length
is expressible as a `size_t` or not.
Yeah. I think that that's the best approach, but it does
unfortunately have the downside that you pretty much can't have a
range over all of the longs or ulongs on 32-bit systems (though
fortunately that should rarely be an issue, and I don't really
see a fix for that that doesn't cause problems with length and
other ranges).
