Another thing to consider is overloads of some of the functions which take an 
output range as their first argument. There has been an increased push lately 
to cut down on GC allocations in Phobos, and so we're probably going to start 
having more functions be overloaded such that they can be used with output 
ranges in order to give the folks who want to avoid the GC more control - 
similar to how we have the overload of toString that takes a delegate (though 
outside of classes, since we can templatize stuff, using an output range is 
more flexible than a delegate, though a delegate does qualify as an ouput range 
apparently).
