I don't think this can work with random access ranges. Pointers already define
opIndex, so it can't be forwarded to pointee range.

I think the opposite of this request should be implemented: pointers should
specifically *not* be ranges, ever.

(as an aside, I dislike how D uses . for pointer member access instead of ->,
it's a massive hack in my opinion, and really unnecessary since pointers are
rarely used in D).
