Improving (foreach) ranges

[Robert Clipsham]

With the introduction of std.parallelism, I've been wondering about the 
following:

foreach (i; 0..100)
{
}

For most uses of foreach, you can just wrap the range in parallel(), but 
with a foreach range statement you can't do this. Of course iota() could 
be used:

foreach (i; parallel(iota(0, 100)))
{
}

But that seems inconsistent. What are people's thoughts on making the 
syntax a..b more general, so you can do eg:

void foo(int[]);
foo(0..100);

Although, I seem to recall seeing this conversation elsewhere, let me 
know if this is the case.
