What if you don't want to preserve type?

e.g. you have a list, but you want to get a sorted array of the elements in
that list?

Why not take the best of both worlds, allowing the user to specify the new
container type, but have it default to the original type, something like:

auto transformed(alias xform, OutputRange = InputRange, InputRange)(InputRange
range)
{
  ...
}
