Yeah, I've started to realize that. The thing is, I have an 
almost identical range in a another module and it does exactly 
what I want it to do, i.e. the InputRange is passed by reference 
with ref and all changes become visible as soon as they happen.

Anyway, I'll try a pointer solution and see what happens. For 
efficiency's sake I don't want to copy anything.
