As far as anyone not coming from C++ is concerned, ranges == iterators.
Actually, thanks for pointing that out. It took me a while to figure
that out, as it wasn't immediately clear.
Sure, some D ranges also offer random access and are generally more
powerful and better abstracted than iterators in other languages, but
the basic functionality is still iterating/traversing and doing
something on the current element.
Good point. Two highly related (and interrelated) pieces of work:

Oleg makes great points, but there are powerful retorts to many of them.
I dream of finding the time to write a retort to that work one day.
