Literan/constant ranges

[Manu via Digitalmars-d]

Man, I suck so hard at navigating the std library! Practically nothing
is named anything I expect or am familiar with >_<
It shouldn't be easier to write my own than to find what I want in the lib.

There are some differences though; repeat() is not a literal, and
repeats infinitely, which means you need to conjoin take(n), which
leads to a long and less-readable line.
I wonder if there is any value to a literal/variable distinction as I have?
