Isn't this plain LINQ like in C#? Maybe  the [1..100] is new, but the 
rest isn't, I think.

Even in Python code map/filter/reduce are uncommon. Modern Python programmers use mostly lazy/eager sequence comprehensions. But I don't like the List Comprehensions syntax of Archetype.

Having something like LINQ as syntactic sugar for (algorithms on) Ranges 
in D would be cool.
