Does maybe mir.combinatorics help you?

http://docs.mir.dlang.io/latest/mir_combinatorics.html

I once tried to push for that to be included into Phobos, but there was too much resistance. I hope eventually we can move combinatorial back to Phobos. For more details:

https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4026

My argument at that time was that e.g. Python's itertools.product has 160K uses on github.

I guess it might?  It looks about how I had envisioned it, but I'm not really jazzed about the idea of installing an entire mathematics package for a one-off script I was expecting to take fifteen minutes.

As for the reasoning, I just figured this was obvious? I mean, there probably isn't an introductory text on permutation that doesn't cover the constrained case.

Do you know about the new inline dub header? At least that's the tradeoff I am taking at the moment.

#!/usr/bin/env dub
/+ dub.sdl:
name "foo"
dependency "mir" version="0.15.3"
+/

In any case I recommend making a bit of fuzz at the NG (forum.dlang.org) as this thread isn't monitored by many people. D developers are actually quite responsive to constructive feedback :)

Yes, when I needed it I was shocked too and thus wrote the small combinatorics module :/
