A dummy type, e.g.:

struct Repeat(T) {
     T val;
     T front() @property { return val; }
     void popFront() {}
     enum empty = false;

     static struct Dollar {}
     Dollar opDollar() {
         return Dollar.init;
     }


     auto opSlice(size_t lower, Dollar dollar) { return this; }
}

void main() {
     auto r = Repeat!int(1);
     auto r2 = r[666..$];
}
