I understand, that's why I am asking this here...
I think the desire to keep a sorted range around and grow it
keeping its invariant is a common enough need for my code.
Currently I keep an array then I use assumeSorted + upperBound,
but this is not safe nor nice.
Perhaps sorted ranges should become more transparent in Phobos.
There are other invariants beside sortness that can be useful to
carry around, like set-ness (every item is unique inside this
collection) and few more.
