My gripe is how "incompatible" 1-arg and 2-arg iota is w.r.t. UFCS:

0.iota(4);
4.iota();

That's also why I've stopped using "writeln()" as UFCS: It "looks" convenient at first, but then you want to turn those "writeln" into "writefln", and that's when things don't go according to plan...

Yes, I understand.

If you want some ugly code you can use std.functional.binaryReverseArgs:

alias flip = binaryReverseArgs;
myRange.flip!writefln("%s")
