Sometimes I'd like to generate a range of bigints too:

Enhancement:

import std.bigint: BigInt;
import std.range: iota;
void main() {
    auto x = iota(BigInt(10));
}


Currently DMD gives:

...\std\range.d(4028): Error: template std.range.iota(B,E,S) if
((isIntegral!(CommonType!(B,E)) || isPointer!(CommonType!(B,E))) &&
isIntegral!(S)) does not match any function template declaration
...\std\range.d(4028): Error: template std.range.iota(B,E,S) if
((isIntegral!(CommonType!(B,E)) || isPointer!(CommonType!(B,E))) &&
isIntegral!(S)) cannot deduce template function from argument types
!()(BigInt,BigInt)
test.d(4): Error: template instance std.range.iota!(BigInt) error instantiating
