I very much like this approach. I don't know that it'll work in 
the general case with the rangification of Phobos functions that 
don't currently return ranges, but in each case that it does 
work, it'll remove the need for distinguishing between function 
names, and it may allow us to make them completely lazy later - 
especially if some of what Walter was discussing at dconf with 
regards to automatically converting ranges to arrays when 
appropriate was implemented (e.g. when the range was assigned to 
an array).

And even better, every time that we go with this approach, we 
remove a bike shedding debate. :)
