Another example, compared to using minPos():


import std.stdio, std.algorithm, std.array;

void main() {
    string[] data = ["red", "hello", "yes", "no", "roger", "bud"];

    // works in DMD 2.053
    string r1 = minPos!q{ walkLength(a) > walkLength(b) }(data).front();
    writeln(r1);

    // proposed
    string r2 = max!q{ walkLength(a) }(items);
    writeln(r2);
}


The second version is shorter and more readable, and just like schwartzSort()
the modified max() is more efficient than using minPos when the mapping
function becomes costly to compute.
