Hi all,
I'm looking for a d-ish way to solve a basic "split-apply-combine" workflow. The idea is described (and solved) here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39922986/pandas-group-by-and-sum

So, given a structure with some fields, say

´´´
struct S
{
        string s;
        int i;
}
´´´

I create an array of them, like

´´´
void main()
{
        import std.experimental.all;

        S[] sarr;
        sarr.length = 6;
        sarr[0].s = "a";
        sarr[1].s = "a";
        sarr[2].s = "b";
        sarr[3].s = "b";
        sarr[4].s = "c";
        sarr[5].s = "c";
        sarr[0].i = 1;
        sarr[1].i = 2;
        sarr[2].i = 4;
        sarr[3].i = 8;
        sarr[4].i = 16;
        sarr[5].i = 32;
        auto res = sarr.group!((a, b) => a.s == b.s);
        //writeln(res);
}
´´´

I'm also able to group them by a field, see last line.

But now the problems begin:
- The group operation tries to use the structure itself as a key, despite I provide a custom binary predicate. - I could ignore the fact above, but how, given the result of the grouping operation I can merge by some function (like sum) the group results?

At this moment, I assume, that I'm approaching the problem from the wrong end, and simply don't see something trivial... Anyway, does anybody has a hint for me?
