Well, not much thought has gone into it, but I'm thinking list displays 
could take ranges and provide a range interface. But maybe a ranges 
laziness is of no benefit and array() isn't so bad. I suppose working 
with Phobos containers would be a better example.

I should probably look at using DWT again. I started used DFL because I 
needed a dependencyless Windows library for D2 and DWT wasn't there yet, 
and in general it is pretty big...
