In my D1 dlibs most things digest static arrays too (but they don't let you iterate on them or return them, that's a limit of the language). I don't know D2 enough yet to give you a better answer, but I think it's better to remove similar limits from the language. zip-ing two static arrays has to be a legit operation.

Yes, sorry, I have found it few seconds after sending the post. I am dumb.

And I have found the bug, of course... :-)
I can also see Denis Koroskin has suggested a small fix:

Regarding iota: it's better for the third argument of iota to defult to 1, becasuse most of the times you want a step = 1.
In Python range() goes one step further: if you give just one argument it's meant to be the second one and the first defaults to zero. In practice this causes no problems because in Python you use range()/xrange() all the time. In D I may accept iota to have 2-3 arguments because it will probably used much less often.

Bye and thank you,
