As mentioned on the newsgroup, it would be useful to have a function in phobos
that can turn a bunch of values into a value type range.  What you get when you
cross tuple and chain.

foreach(x; range(23, 7, 1990)) // No allocations, unlike array literals
{
}

It could be a random access range, with slicing.
There's probably not much point in it having assignable elements.
I'll do a pull request for std.range in the next few days.
Name suggested by Andrei.
