Yes, no, well, it feels like too much science for a loop with
a decrementing index instead of an incrementing, no matter how
few parenthesis are used. It is not the place where I would
want to introduce functional programming to someone who never
saw D code before.
That said, I'd also be uncertain if compilers transparently
convert this to the equivalent of a reverse loop.
