[dmd-concurrency] How to use parallel foreach to process a part of array?

[Steven Schveighoffer]

Right, I didn't check over the full code.

The code is broken with or without my change, but with my change it's shorter broken code :)

That's very much not the case in the code below.  Each value in that code depends on other elements.  Unless you notice that all values are 0 and can thus just be replaced with the foreach entirely removed.
