A low-priority enhancement request.

In some cases the mapping function is just an array or associative array:

import std.stdio, std.range, std.algorithm;
void main() {
    auto a = [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1];
    iota(0, a.length).filter!(i => a[i])().writeln();
}


Output:

[1, 4, 9, 16]


So maybe filter/map (and few other higher order functions) can be improved
(using a new little function in std.functional) to see a given
array/associative array as a callable:

iota(0, a.length).filter!a().writeln();

The Clojure language supports something similar.
