This is a common need, perhaps such request is already in Bugzilla.


> Not sure about the name, maybe sink or apply.

"sink" is probably better left for output ranges, etc.

"apply" function usually has another meaning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apply

So I suggest names like "forEach", that underlines its imperative nature.


> Or we could modify std.algorithm.reduce to allow void functions.

Reduce has a different meaning. Here you are not "reducing".


> Currently one needs to mix foreach and UFCS.
