If I ever needed to foreach over 1-based indices, I'd write it this way
in order to avoid all confusion:

	foreach (i; 1 .. 5 + 1)
	{
	}

This will immediately make whoever reads the code (i.e., myself after 2
months :D) wonder, "why +1?" And the answer will become clear and
enlightenment ensues. ;-)
