This came form a post by Lars on how to remove the boilerplate if you already have a random access interface:

To avoid the boilerplate, you could write a mixin that defines the iteration primitives for you.

  mixin template IterationFuncs()
  {
      int index;
      bool empty() { return index == length; }
      auto front() { return opIndex(index); }
      void popFront() { ++index; }
      // ... etc.
  }

Then you'd just have to define opIndex() and length(), and the mixin does
the rest for you.

  struct MyRange(T)
  {
      T opIndex(int i) { ... }
      @property int length() { ... }
      mixin IterationFuncs!();
  }

(I haven't tested the code above, so it probably has bugs, but you get
the point.)
