Adding minmaxElement to Phobos?

[Schrom, Brian T]

If someone does do this, an interesting comparison point is how it compares to

auto r = reduce!(min, max)(data);

    Looks like enough of an principled algorithm to make a valid addition. I 
    think it was an interview question at Facebook at a point :o). (Hmmm... 
    I looked quickly over the C++ sample implementation in the link above 
    and it seems something is amiss.)
