The use-case

foreach (c; "foobar".retro())
    writeln(c);

"foobar".retro.apply!writeln();

This is not a functional component because it's mostly useful for void
functions with side effect. Currently one needs to mix foreach and UFCS.

Not sure about the name, maybe sink or apply.
Or we could modify std.algorithm.reduce to allow void functions.

NB: The function is not supposed to produce a result (we have
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_array.html#.array for that).
