Oh, I completely forgot this. Nice code, if I may say so myself :)

But yes, having identifiers going back and forth between modules is
difficult. I didn't realize this in 2009, while most of dranges was
written.
Now, since I regularly need to have a template work on local
identifiers, I tend to use mixins much more than in dtemplates.
