Well that's possible, but I don't like the template bloat it causes.
AFAIK a function taking a void[][] is just one instance, with that
redirecting approach we'll have one instance per array type. This seems
unnecessary (and maybe the compiler can merge such template instances
in the future), but I can't seem to find a way to avoid it, so we'll
probably have to live with that.

I guess a second function digestRange is not acceptable?
