I am not familiar with all of the past discussion of this

something like

alias fooConstraint = (s != SwapStrategy.stable
  && isBidirectionalRange!Range
  && hasLvalueElements!Range
  && hasLength!Range
  && Offset.length >= 1);

Range remove
  (SwapStrategy s = SwapStrategy.stable, Range, Offset...)
  (Range range, Offset offset) if fooConstraint;

I mean, is there some reason that this shouldn't be allowed? Any 
feature can be abused, but it looks useful in many cases.
