/**
This module defines the notion of a range. Ranges generalize the concept of
arrays, lists, or anything that involves sequential access. This abstraction
enables the same set of algorithms (see $(LINK2 std_algorithm.html,
std.algorithm)) to be used with a vast variety of different concrete types. For
example, a linear search algorithm such as $(LINK2 std_algorithm.html#find,
std.algorithm.find) works not just for arrays, but for linked-lists, input
files, incoming network data, etc.

For more detailed information about the conceptual aspect of ranges and the
motivation behind them, see Andrei Alexandrescu's article
$(LINK2 http://www.informit.com/articles/printerfriendly.aspx?p=1407357&rll=1,
$(I On Iteration)).

This module defines several templates for testing whether a given object is a
_range, and what kind of _range it is:
$(BOOKTABLE ,

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF isInputRange)))
$(TD Tests if something is an $(I input _range), defined to be something from
which one can sequentially read data using the primitives $(D front), $(D
popFront), and $(D empty).
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF isOutputRange)))
$(TD Tests if something is an $(I output _range), defined to be something to
which one can sequentially write data using the $(D $(LREF put)) primitive.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF isForwardRange)))
$(TD Tests if something is a $(I forward _range), defined to be an input _range
with the additional capability that one can save one's current position with
the $(D save) primitive, thus allowing one to iterate over the same _range
multiple times.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF isBidirectionalRange)))
$(TD Tests if something is a $(I bidirectional _range), that is, an input
_range that allows reverse traversal using the primitives $(D back) and $(D
popBack).
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF isRandomAccessRange)))
$(TD Tests if something is a $(I random access _range), which is a
bidirectional _range that also supports the array subscripting operation via
the primitive $(D opIndex).
))

)

A number of templates are provided that test for various _range capabilities:

$(BOOKTABLE ,

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF hasMobileElements)))
$(TD Tests if a given _range's elements can be moved around using the
primitives $(D moveFront), $(D moveBack), or $(D moveAt).
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF ElementType)))
$(TD Returns the element type of a given _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF ElementEncodingType)))
$(TD Returns the encoding element type of a given _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF hasSwappableElements)))
$(TD Tests if a _range is a forward _range with swappable elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF hasAssignableElements)))
$(TD Tests if a _range is a forward _range with mutable elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF hasLvalueElements)))
$(TD Tests if a _range is a forward _range with elements that can be passed by
reference and have their address taken.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF hasLength)))
$(TD Tests if a given _range has the $(D length) attribute.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF isInfinite)))
$(TD Tests if a given _range is an $(I infinite _range).
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF hasSlicing)))
$(TD Tests if a given _range supports the array slicing operation $(D R[x..y]).
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF walkLength)))
$(TD Computes the length of any _range in O(n) time.
))

)

A rich set of _range creation and composition templates are provided that let
you construct new ranges out of existing ranges:

$(BOOKTABLE ,

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF retro)))
$(TD Iterates a bidirectional _range backwards.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF stride)))
$(TD Iterates a _range with stride $(I n).
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF chain)))
$(TD Concatenates several ranges into a single _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF roundRobin)))
$(TD Given $(I n) ranges, creates a new _range that return the $(I n) first
elements of each _range, in turn, then the second element of each _range, and
so on, in a round-robin fashion.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF radial)))
$(TD Given a random-access _range and a starting point, creates a _range that
alternately returns the next left and next right element to the starting point.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF take)))
$(TD Creates a sub-_range consisting of only up to the first $(I n) elements of
the given _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF takeExactly)))
$(TD Like $(D take), but assumes the given _range actually has $(I n) elements,
and therefore also defines the $(D length) property.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF takeOne)))
$(TD Creates a random-access _range consisting of exactly the first element of
the given _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF takeNone)))
$(TD Creates a random-access _range consisting of zero elements of the given
_range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF drop)))
$(TD Creates the _range that results from discarding the first $(I n) elements
from the given _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF repeat)))
$(TD Creates a _range that consists of a single element repeated $(I n) times,
or an infinite _range repeating that element indefinitely.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF cycle)))
$(TD Creates an infinite _range that repeats the given forward _range
indefinitely. Good for implementing circular buffers.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF zip)))
$(TD Given $(I n) _ranges, creates a _range that successively returns a tuple
of all the first elements, a tuple of all the second elements, etc.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF lockstep)))
$(TD Iterates $(I n) _ranges in lockstep, for use in a $(D foreach) loop.
Similar to $(D zip), except that $(D lockstep) is designed especially for $(D
foreach) loops.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF recurrence)))
$(TD Creates a forward _range whose values are defined by a mathematical
recurrence relation.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF sequence)))
$(TD Similar to $(D recurrence), except that a random-access _range is created.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF iota)))
$(TD Creates a _range consisting of numbers between a starting point and ending
point, spaced apart by a given interval.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF frontTransversal)))
$(TD Creates a _range that iterates over the first elements of the given
ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF transversal)))
$(TD Creates a _range that iterates over the $(I n)'th elements of the given
random-access ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF indexed)))
$(TD Creates a _range that offers a view of a given _range as though its
elements were reordered according to a given _range of indices.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF chunks)))
$(TD Creates a _range that returns fixed-size chunks of the original _range.
))

)

These _range-construction tools are implemented using templates; but sometimes
an object-based interface for ranges is needed. For this purpose, this module
provides a number of object and $(D interface) definitions that can be used to
wrap around _range objects created by the above templates:

$(BOOKTABLE ,

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF InputRange)))
$(TD Wrapper for input ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF InputAssignable)))
$(TD Wrapper for input ranges with assignable elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF ForwardRange)))
$(TD Wrapper for forward ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF ForwardAssignable)))
$(TD Wrapper for forward ranges with assignable elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF BidirectionalRange)))
$(TD Wrapper for bidirectional ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF BidirectionalAssignable)))
$(TD Wrapper for bidirectional ranges with assignable elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF RandomAccessFinite)))
$(TD Wrapper for finite random-access ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF RandomAccessAssignable)))
$(TD Wrapper for finite random-access ranges with assignable elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF RandomAccessInfinite)))
$(TD Wrapper for infinite random-access ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF OutputRange)))
$(TD Wrapper for output ranges.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF OutputRangeObject)))
$(TD Class that implements the $(D OutputRange) interface and wraps the
$(D put) methods in virtual functions.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF InputRangeObject)))
$(TD Class that implements the $(D InputRange) interface and wraps the input
_range methods in virtual functions.
))

)

Ranges whose elements are sorted afford better efficiency with certain
operations. For this, the $(D $(LREF assumeSorted)) function can be used to
construct a $(D $(LREF SortedRange)) from a pre-sorted _range. The $(D $(LINK2
std_algorithm.html#sort, std.algorithm.sort)) function also conveniently
returns a $(D SortedRange). $(D SortedRange) objects provide some additional
_range operations that take advantage of the fact that the _range is sorted.

Finally, this module also defines some convenience functions for
manipulating ranges:

$(BOOKTABLE ,

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF popFrontN)))
$(TD Advances a given _range by $(I n) elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF popBackN)))
$(TD Advances a given bidirectional _range from the right by $(I n) elements.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF moveFront)))
$(TD Removes the front element of a _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF moveBack)))
$(TD Removes the back element of a bidirectional _range.
))

$(TR $(TD $(D $(LREF moveAt)))
$(TD Removes the $(I i)'th element of a random-access _range.
))

range will not save the position in the stream, and they most likely
reuse an internal buffer as the entire stream does not sit in

advance the stream, so the copies are not independent.

navigate that data independently.

/**
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][]));

/**
Returns a range with at most one element; for example, $(D
takeOne([42, 43, 44])) returns a range consisting of the integer $(D
42). Calling $(D popFront()) off that range renders it empty.

Sometimes an empty range with the same signature is needed. For such
ranges use $(D takeNone!R()). For example:

----
auto s = takeOne([42, 43, 44]);
static assert(isRandomAccessRange!(typeof(s)));
assert(s.length == 1);
assert(!s.empty);
assert(s.front == 42);
s.front() = 43;
assert(s.front == 43);
assert(s.back == 43);
assert(s[0] == 43);
s.popFront();
assert(s.length == 0);
assert(s.empty);
s = takeNone!(int[])();
assert(s.length == 0);
assert(s.empty);
----

In effect $(D takeOne(r)) is somewhat equivalent to $(D take(r, 1)) and
$(D takeNone(r)) is equivalent to $(D take(r, 0)), but in certain
interfaces it is important to know statically that the range may only
have at most one element.

The type returned by $(D takeOne) and $(D takeNone) is a random-access
range with length regardless of $(D R)'s capability (another feature
that distinguishes $(D takeOne)/$(D takeNone) from $(D take)).

/**
   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))

/**
Creates a mathematical sequence given the initial values and a
recurrence function that computes the next 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 next 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) struct 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); }

   $(D Sequence) is similar to $(D Recurrence) except that iteration is
   presented in the so-called $(WEB en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_form,
   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.

   Represents a sorted random-access range. In addition to the regular

   corresponding $(D SortedRange). To construct a $(D SortedRange)
   from a range $(D r) that is known to be already sorted, use
   $(LREF assumeSorted) described below.

   Example:

   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.contains(42));
   swap(a[3], a[5]);                      // illegal to break sortedness of original range

effect on the complexity of subsequent operations specific to sorted
