Hm... this is slightly off topic, but that function signature is  
absolutely horrendous (in fact, I thought you linked to the wrong place at  
first).  Isn't there any way to avoid putting half the type construction  
as the return value?  Do all range-creating functions suffer from this  
problem?  Maybe it's just a ddoc problem.
