i found two snippets from the functional docs that do not work (anymore?)
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_functional.html


assert(compose!(map!(to!(int)), split)("1 2 3") == [1, 2, 3]);
and
int[] a = pipe!(readText, split, map!(to!(int)))("file.txt");

throwing a std.array.array into the mix works fine.

did this use to work? is there any other way of doing it?

The proper way is to call std.algorithm.equal, which compares ranges element-by-element:

    assert(compose!(map!(to!(int)), split)("1 2 3").equal([1, 2, 3]));

I think those were little used, and today with UFCS they are even less useful.

Untested:

"1 2 3".split.to!(int[]) == [1, 2, 3]
int[] a = "file.txt".readText.split.to!(int[]);

Once to!() accepts a lazy iterable you can save some GC activity with:

"1 2 3".splitter.to!(int[]) == [1, 2, 3]
int[] a = "file.txt".readText.splitter.to!(int[]);

Currently you have to write this to do the same:

"1 2 3".splitter.map!(to!int).array == [1, 2, 3]
int[] a = "file.txt".readText.splitter.map!(to!(int)).array;

But you can also omit the latest .array:

"1 2 3".splitter.map!(to!int).equal([1, 2, 3])
