Oh, I am aware, but I didn't thought it would be necessary in
this pace.
if you'll stay with D, you'll find yourself dreaming about such
handy thing in another compiled languages very soon. ;-)
I don't consider to use any other language as long as I have a
choice :-)
But in the end, my one short and beautiful solution
auto myRange = iota(start, end).map!foo;
changed into something quite klumsy:
auto myRange = iota(start, end).map!(x =>
foo(cast(ParameterTypeTuple!foo[0])x));
which I think is against the philosophy of D as it turns away the
eye of the reader from what is really going on, especially if
previous constraints ensured that start and end-1 are of the
correct type :-(
But ok, still far, far better than what would be neccessary in C++
