Simen, could you please have a look at my dranges project?

Look at the algorithm and range sections, you'll find plenty of code that
try to tackle this.
In particular combinations() in algorithm2, and also tensorialProduct() in
rangeofranges

combinations is a higher-order range that takes any number of forward ranges
and output their combinations as tuples.

tensorialProduct does the same, but creates 'topology' : the combination of
three ranges is a range, whereas the tensorial product of three (linear)
ranges is a range of ranges of ranges:

tensorialProduct([0,1],[2,3])
->
[[(0,2),(0,3)],
 [(1,2),(1,3)]]

(where (x,y) indicates a tuple)


Yah, that would be useful. If Philippe agrees to adapt his work, maybe that

Concerning helping Phobos, I'd be delighted to if the Phobos team deems it
possible. It's just that my job and formation are far from coding (I'm more
a physicist), so I'm not sure my code would be up to it without being
reviewed.

I'm OK with pretty much everything concerning licensing and adaptation. I'll
begin by putting a Boost licence in my code, when dsource is up again. If
someone is interested by some of it, I'm quite ready to adapt it to conform
to D/Phobos evolutions. That's what I'm doing anyway.
