default0 said that D's ranges would be more awkward than a for loop. I 
think D's iota is fine.

D's special syntax is even nicer, but it's a language thing. And 
apparently Swift is cutting down on syntax, not adding. Something like 
iota is probably doable in a library. I don't know Swift, though.
