Internal, and not really a mock. I used a range as an example - 
anything with an accompanying interface would be supported.

What's wrong with dmocks revived (I've never used it)? I'm not 
afraid of classes, I was just trying to extend mocking to static 
interfaces since there's so much emphasis on them in D. Regular 
mocking is boring and easily doable :P
