I think the enumerate() was discussed mostly elsewhere.

Thank you for your interest. I like to write articles, but there 
are significant problems related to that post:
- It's a soup of very different things;
- It suggests things like stream fusion that I think aren't yet 
discussed in the D community;
- I think it's not good for consumption outside the D community, 
it focuses on details mostly important for the development of 
D/Phobos;
- I think some of its contents are half cooked and need some more 
of my reflection;
- I do not like to show a text two times.

Bye,
