/**
Spans multiple ranges in sequence. The function $(D chain) takes any
number of ranges and returns a $(D Chain!(R1, R2,...)) object. The
ranges may be different, but they must have the same element type. The
result is a range that offers the $(D front), $(D popFront), and $(D empty)
primitives. If all input ranges offer random access and $(D length),
$(D Chain) offers them as well.

If only one range is offered to $(D Chain) or $(D chain), the $(D Chain)
type exits the picture by aliasing itself directly to that range's
type.

Example:
----
int[] arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
int[] arr2 = [ 5, 6 ];
int[] arr3 = [ 7 ];
auto s = chain(arr1, arr2, arr3);
assert(s.length == 7);
assert(s[5] == 6);
assert(equal(s, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7][]));

/**
Iterate several ranges in lockstep. The element type is a proxy tuple
that allows accessing the current element in the $(D n)th range by
using $(D e[n]).

Example:
----
int[] a = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
string[] b = [ "a", "b", "c" ];

foreach (e; zip(a, b))

$(D Zip) offers the lowest range facilities of all components, e.g. it
offers random access iff all ranges offer random access, and also
offers mutation and swapping if all ranges offer it. Due to this, $(D
Zip) is extremely powerful because it allows manipulating several
ranges in lockstep. For example, the following code sorts two arrays
in parallel:

----
int[] a = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
string[] b = [ "a", "b", "c" ];
sort!("a[0] > b[0]")(zip(a, b));
assert(a == [ 3, 2, 1 ]);
assert(b == [ "c", "b", "a" ]);

/**
Iterate multiple ranges in lockstep using a $(D foreach) loop.  If only a single
range is passed in, the $(D Lockstep) aliases itself away.  If the
ranges are of different lengths and $(D s) == $(D StoppingPolicy.shortest)
stop after the shortest range is empty.  If the ranges are of different
lengths and $(D s) == $(D StoppingPolicy.requireSameLength), throw an
exception.  $(D s) may not be $(D StoppingPolicy.longest), and passing this
will throw an exception.

BUGS:  If a range does not offer lvalue access, but $(D ref) is used in the
       $(D foreach) loop, it will be silently accepted but any modifications
       to the variable will not be propagated to the underlying range.

Examples:
---
auto arr1 = [1,2,3,4,5];
auto arr2 = [6,7,8,9,10];

foreach(ref a, ref b; lockstep(arr1, arr2))
{
   a += b;

// Lockstep also supports iterating with an index variable:
foreach(index, a, b; lockstep(arr1, arr2)) {

/**
Creates a mathematical sequence given the initial values and a
recurrence function that computes the popFront value from the existing
values. The sequence comes in the form of an infinite forward
range. The type $(D Recurrence) itself is seldom used directly; most
often, recurrences are obtained by calling the function $(D
recurrence).

When calling $(D recurrence), the function that computes the next
value is specified as a template argument, and the initial values in
the recurrence are passed as regular arguments. For example, in a
Fibonacci sequence, there are two initial values (and therefore a
state size of 2) because computing the popFront Fibonacci value needs the
past two values.

If the function is passed in string form, the state has name $(D "a")
and the zero-based index in the recurrence has name $(D "n"). The
given string must return the desired value for $(D a[n]) given $(D a[n
- 1]), $(D a[n - 2]), $(D a[n - 3]),..., $(D a[n - stateSize]). The
state size is dictated by the number of arguments passed to the call
to $(D recurrence). The $(D Recurrence) class itself takes care of
managing the recurrence's state and shifting it appropriately.

Example:
----
// a[0] = 1, a[1] = 1, and compute a[n+1] = a[n-1] + a[n]
auto fib = recurrence!("a[n-1] + a[n-2]")(1, 1);
// print the first 10 Fibonacci numbers
foreach (e; take(fib, 10)) { writeln(e); }
// print the first 10 factorials
foreach (e; take(recurrence!("a[n-1] * n")(1), 10)) { writeln(e); }

closed form). This means that the $(D n)th element in the series is
computable directly from the initial values and $(D n) itself. This
implies that the interface offered by $(D Sequence) is a random-access
range, as opposed to the regular $(D Recurrence), which only offers
forward iteration.

The state of the sequence is stored as a $(D Tuple) so it can be
heterogeneous.

 * $(D isInputRange) and friends check for conformance to structural

 *
 * Examples:

/**
Represents a sorted random-access range. In addition to the regular
range primitives, supports fast operations using binary search. To
obtain a $(D SortedRange) from an unsorted range $(D r), use $(XREF
algorithm, sort) which sorts $(D r) in place and returns the
corresponding $(D SortedRange). To construct a $(D SortedRange) from a
range $(D r) that is known to be already sorted, use $(D assumeSorted)
described below.

Example:

----
auto a = [ 1, 2, 3, 42, 52, 64 ];
auto r = assumeSorted(a);
assert(r.canFind(3));
assert(!r.canFind(32));
auto r1 = sort!"a > b"(a);
assert(r1.canFind(3));
assert(!r1.canFind(32));
assert(r1.release() == [ 64, 52, 42, 3, 2, 1 ]);
----

$(D SortedRange) could accept ranges weaker than random-access, but it
is unable to provide interesting functionality for them. Therefore,
$(D SortedRange) is currently restricted to random-access ranges.

No copy of the original range is ever made. If the underlying range is
changed concurrently with its corresponding $(D SortedRange) in ways
that break its sortedness, $(D SortedRange) will work erratically.

Example:

----
auto a = [ 1, 2, 3, 42, 52, 64 ];
auto r = assumeSorted(a);
assert(r.canFind(42));
swap(a[2], a[5]); // illegal to break sortedness of original range
assert(!r.canFind(42)); // passes although it shouldn't
