What do contiguous ranges offer that isn't already offered by a random
access range that hasSlicing? If it doesn't offer significantly more
power than what we already have, I doubt Andrei would agree to adding it
to Phobos. We already have enough work on our hands trying to maintain
the current diverse set of ranges.
