It'd be nice to have a way to set k for n!/(n - k)!

std.algorithm.sorting.nextPermutation gives unique permutations (which is
nice), but it modifies in-place and returns a boolean. (Also, why is it in
sorting?)

std.algorithm.iteration.permutations actually returns the permutations, but
doesn't look for uniqueness AND has no other settings.
