Ranges and/versus iterators

Watching D evolve from the outside there seems to be a lot of ongoing discussion
on this newsgroup about the D range idiom which is somehow opposed to conventional
thinking about iterators.

Can someone please explain in plain words just exactly what a range is and how
it differs from the iterator concept (if that's appropriate???) and what are the benefits
from a data modeling and access perspective.

Sure, I'm clueless, though suspect many other bystanders would appreciate a
succinct heads-up.

Thanks,
clueless bystander
