//inclusive range

out: a .. (b+1)

//range as start/length
in : a .$. b
out: a .. (a+b)

Not sure if this was implemented or not yet:

in: typename[$] x
out: typename[x.length] x //well, kind of

But, I agree, I am not fan of forking D now. But I have nothing 
against it.

Pretty sure that D started as a kind of fork of C or C++ at some 
point...
