I consider it a mistake that phoboes hides the "meta" range
algorithms separately in std.range (like zip) while
`levenshteinDistanceAndPath` is in algorithm.
By virtue of the input api being the output api theres no real
clear flow distinction; it is just a big mess, which is the power
of the template hell but its also why it is just unreadable when
theres minor syntax error that causes problems in some extreme
edge case.
When you can (and should) write something small that impliments
the range api, you may be swapping back and forth between mine
and your code every other function, that isnt true of some json
parser which may have some structure where they hide the
conversion functions in a file and that can just be isolated.
