The api was not written to be introspective and d's type theory 
has holes in it

Given a clean slate and modern knowledge and a design goal of 
allowing introsection I would expect `return 
typeof(return).init;` to work. Youd have to be writting your own 
algorthims lib tho.

If your lamda was an alias and you knew the range was empty on 
init you should be able to get this sort of thing working:

```d
alias F=...;
if(cond1){
   return r.map!F;
} else {
   return typeof(r).init.map!F;
}
```

but your off the garden path and your likely learn some new 
compiler bugs :D
