Done. Also found and fixed a couple of issues with negative ranges.

B and E can be pointers. I did add a check that should eliminate nonsensical
calls.

It's an actual word of which meaning in the current context I borrowed from
some STL implementations (http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/iota.html).

Bug fixed and checked in; the fix will come in dmd 2.032.
