save for forward ranges is pretty much the same. It's a property even though 
it's name and usage suggests otherwise. But we're pretty much stuck with all 
three of those at this point. Arguing about it is pretty much quibbling over 
straws, and some - Andrei in particular - are becoming increasingly adverse to 
arguing over such small changes to existing code for minimal benefit.
