I think the purpose behind it is to say "here, now you have the original 
range back, so I won't guarantee it's sorted any more." I'm pretty sure 
it also clears out the source range in the sorted range, so you can no 
longer use the sortedness functions, but that's easily circumvented 
using `save`.

I can't really defend the purpose/implementation of `SortedRange`, it's 
something in Phobos that I've complained about extensively in the past.
