Watching D evolve from the outside there seems to be a lot of ongoing discussion on this newsgroup about the D range idiom which is somehow opposed to conventional thinking about iterators.
Can someone please explain in plain words just exactly what a range is and how it differs from the iterator concept (if that's appropriate???) and what are the benefits from a data modeling and access perspective. Sure, I'm clueless, though suspect many other bystanders would appreciate a succinct heads-up. Thanks, clueless bystander
