$(BOOKTABLE Cheat Sheet,
$(TR $(TH Function Name) $(TH Description))
$(T2 all,
        `all!"a > 0"([1, 2, 3, 4])` returns `true` because all elements
        are positive)
$(T2 any,
        `any!"a > 0"([1, 2, -3, -4])` returns `true` because at least one
        element is positive)
$(T2 balancedParens,
        `balancedParens("((1 + 1) / 2)", '(', ')')` returns `true` because the
        string has balanced parentheses.)
$(T2 boyerMooreFinder,
        `find("hello world", boyerMooreFinder("or"))` returns `"orld"`
        using the $(LINK2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer%E2%80%93Moore_string_search_algorithm,
        Boyer-Moore _algorithm).)
$(T2 canFind,
        `canFind("hello world", "or")` returns `true`.)
$(T2 count,
        Counts elements that are equal to a specified value or satisfy a
        predicate.  `count([1, 2, 1], 1)` returns `2` and
        `count!"a < 0"([1, -3, 0])` returns `1`.)
$(T2 countUntil,
        `countUntil(a, b)` returns the number of steps taken in `a` to
        reach `b`; for example, `countUntil("hello!", "o")` returns

$(T2 commonPrefix,
        `commonPrefix("parakeet", "parachute")` returns `"para"`.)
$(T2 endsWith,
        `endsWith("rocks", "ks")` returns `true`.)
$(T2 find,
        `find("hello world", "or")` returns `"orld"` using linear search.
        (For binary search refer to $(REF SortedRange, std,range).))
$(T2 findAdjacent,
        `findAdjacent([1, 2, 3, 3, 4])` returns the subrange starting with
        two equal adjacent elements, i.e. `[3, 3, 4]`.)
$(T2 findAmong,
        `findAmong("abcd", "qcx")` returns `"cd"` because `'c'` is
        among `"qcx"`.)
$(T2 findSkip,
        If `a = "abcde"`, then `findSkip(a, "x")` returns `false` and
        leaves `a` unchanged, whereas `findSkip(a, "c")` advances `a`
        to `"de"` and returns `true`.)
$(T2 findSplit,
        `findSplit("abcdefg", "de")` returns a tuple of three ranges `"abc"`,
        `"de"`, and `"fg"`.)
$(T2 findSplitAfter,
`findSplitAfter("abcdefg", "de")` returns a tuple of two ranges `"abcde"`
        and `"fg"`.)
$(T2 findSplitBefore,
        `findSplitBefore("abcdefg", "de")` returns a tuple of two ranges `"abc"`
        and `"defg"`.)
$(T2 minCount,
        `minCount([2, 1, 1, 4, 1])` returns `tuple(1, 3)`.)
$(T2 maxCount,
        `maxCount([2, 4, 1, 4, 1])` returns `tuple(4, 2)`.)
$(T2 minElement,
        Selects the minimal element of a range.
        `minElement([3, 4, 1, 2])` returns `1`.)
$(T2 maxElement,
        Selects the maximal element of a range.
        `maxElement([3, 4, 1, 2])` returns `4`.)
$(T2 minIndex,
        Index of the minimal element of a range.
        `minIndex([3, 4, 1, 2])` returns `2`.)
$(T2 maxIndex,
        Index of the maximal element of a range.
        `maxIndex([3, 4, 1, 2])` returns `1`.)
$(T2 minPos,
        `minPos([2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 1])` returns the subrange `[1, 3, 4, 1]`,
        i.e., positions the range at the first occurrence of its minimal
        element.)
$(T2 maxPos,
        `maxPos([2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 1])` returns the subrange `[4, 1]`,
        i.e., positions the range at the first occurrence of its maximal
        element.)
$(T2 skipOver,
        Assume `a = "blah"`. Then `skipOver(a, "bi")` leaves `a`
        unchanged and returns `false`, whereas `skipOver(a, "bl")`
        advances `a` to refer to `"ah"` and returns `true`.)
$(T2 startsWith,
        `startsWith("hello, world", "hello")` returns `true`.)
$(T2 until,
        Lazily iterates a range until a specific value is found.)

// count
/**
The first version counts the number of elements `x` in `r` for
which `pred(x, value)` is `true`. `pred` defaults to
equality. Performs $(BIGOH haystack.length) evaluations of `pred`.

The second version returns the number of times `needle` occurs in
`haystack`. Throws an exception if `needle.empty`, as the _count
of the empty range in any range would be infinite. Overlapped counts
are not considered, for example `count("aaa", "aa")` is `1`, not
`2`.

The third version counts the elements for which `pred(x)` is $(D
true). Performs $(BIGOH haystack.length) evaluations of `pred`.

The fourth version counts the number of elements in a range. It is
an optimization for the third version: if the given range has the
`length` property the count is returned right away, otherwise
performs $(BIGOH haystack.length) to walk the range.

Note: Regardless of the overload, `count` will not accept
infinite ranges for `haystack`.

Params:
    pred = The predicate to evaluate.
    haystack = The range to _count.
    needle = The element or sub-range to _count in the `haystack`.

Returns:
    The number of positions in the `haystack` for which `pred` returned true.

    Counts elements in the given

        haystack = The
            $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives) to be

            of elements, to be evaluated in turn against each
            element in `haystack` under the given predicate.

    Returns: The number of elements which must be popped from the front of
    `haystack` before reaching an element for which
    `startsWith!pred(haystack, needles)` is `true`. If

// find
/**
Finds an individual element in an $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives).
Elements of `haystack` are compared with `needle` by using predicate
`pred` with `pred(haystack.front, needle)`.
`find` performs $(BIGOH walkLength(haystack)) evaluations of `pred`.

The predicate is passed to $(REF binaryFun, std, functional), and can either accept a
string, or any callable that can be executed via `pred(element, element)`.

To _find the last occurrence of `needle` in a
$(REF_ALTTEXT bidirectional, isBidirectionalRange, std,range,primitives) `haystack`,
call `find(retro(haystack), needle)`. See $(REF retro, std,range).

If no `needle` is provided, `pred(haystack.front)` will be evaluated on each
element of the input range.

If `input` is a $(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives),
`needle` can be a $(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives) too.
In this case `startsWith!pred(haystack, needle)` is evaluated on each evaluation.

Note:
    `find` behaves similar to `dropWhile` in other languages.

Complexity:
    `find` performs $(BIGOH walkLength(haystack)) evaluations of `pred`.
    There are specializations that improve performance by taking
    advantage of $(REF_ALTTEXT bidirectional, isBidirectionalRange, std,range,primitives)
    or $(REF_ALTTEXT random access, isRandomAccess, std,range,primitives)
    ranges (where possible).

Params:

    pred = The predicate for comparing each element with the needle, defaulting to equality `"a == b"`.
           The negated predicate `"a != b"` can be used to search instead for the first
           element $(I not) matching the needle.

    haystack = The $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives)
               searched in.

    needle = The element searched for.

Returns:

    `haystack` advanced such that the front element is the one searched for;
    that is, until `binaryFun!pred(haystack.front, needle)` is `true`. If no
    such position exists, returns an empty `haystack`.

/**
Finds two or more `needles` into a `haystack`. The predicate $(D
pred) is used throughout to compare elements. By default, elements are
compared for equality.

Params:

pred = The predicate to use for comparing elements.

haystack = The target of the search. Must be an input range.
If any of `needles` is a range with elements comparable to
elements in `haystack`, then `haystack` must be a
$(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives)
such that the search can backtrack.

needles = One or more items to search for. Each of `needles` must
be either comparable to one element in `haystack`, or be itself a
forward range with elements comparable with elements in
`haystack`.

Returns:

A tuple containing `haystack` positioned to match one of the
needles and also the 1-based index of the matching element in $(D
needles) (0 if none of `needles` matched, 1 if `needles[0]`
matched, 2 if `needles[1]` matched...). The first needle to be found
will be the one that matches. If multiple needles are found at the
same spot in the range, then the shortest one is the one which matches
(if multiple needles of the same length are found at the same spot (e.g
`"a"` and `'a'`), then the left-most of them in the argument list
matches).

The relationship between `haystack` and `needles` simply means
that one can e.g. search for individual `int`s or arrays of $(D
int)s in an array of `int`s. In addition, if elements are
individually comparable, searches of heterogeneous types are allowed
as well: a `double[]` can be searched for an `int` or a $(D
short[]), and conversely a `long` can be searched for a `float`
or a `double[]`. This makes for efficient searches without the need
to coerce one side of the comparison into the other's side type.

The complexity of the search is $(BIGOH haystack.length *
max(needles.length)). (For needles that are individual items, length
is considered to be 1.) The strategy used in searching several
subranges at once maximizes cache usage by moving in `haystack` as
few times as possible.

/**
These functions find the first occurrence of `needle` in `haystack` and then
split `haystack` as follows.

`findSplit` returns a tuple `result` containing $(I three) ranges. `result[0]`
is the portion of `haystack` before `needle`, `result[1]` is the portion of
`haystack` that matches `needle`, and `result[2]` is the portion of `haystack`
after the match. If `needle` was not found, `result[0]` comprehends `haystack`
entirely and `result[1]` and `result[2]` are empty.

`findSplitBefore` returns a tuple `result` containing two ranges. `result[0]` is
the portion of `haystack` before `needle`, and `result[1]` is the balance of
`haystack` starting with the match. If `needle` was not found, `result[0]`
comprehends `haystack` entirely and `result[1]` is empty.

`findSplitAfter` returns a tuple `result` containing two ranges.
`result[0]` is the portion of `haystack` up to and including the
match, and `result[1]` is the balance of `haystack` starting
after the match. If `needle` was not found, `result[0]` is empty
and `result[1]` is `haystack`.

In all cases, the concatenation of the returned ranges spans the
entire `haystack`.

If `haystack` is a random-access range, all three components of the tuple have
the same type as `haystack`. Otherwise, `haystack` must be a
$(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives) and
the type of `result[0]` and `result[1]` is the same as $(REF takeExactly,
std,range).

For more information about `pred` see $(LREF find).

Params:
    pred = Predicate to use for comparing needle against haystack.
    haystack = The range to search.
    needle = What to look for.

Returns:

A sub-type of `Tuple!()` of the split portions of `haystack` (see above for
details).  This sub-type of `Tuple!()` has `opCast` defined for `bool`.  This
`opCast` returns `true` when the separating `needle` was found
and `false` otherwise.

// minCount
/**

Computes the minimum (respectively maximum) of `range` along with its number of
occurrences. Formally, the minimum is a value `x` in `range` such that $(D
pred(a, x)) is `false` for all values `a` in `range`. Conversely, the maximum is
a value `x` in `range` such that `pred(x, a)` is `false` for all values `a`
in `range` (note the swapped arguments to `pred`).

These functions may be used for computing arbitrary extrema by choosing `pred`
appropriately. For corrrect functioning, `pred` must be a strict partial order,
i.e. transitive (if `pred(a, b) && pred(b, c)` then `pred(a, c)`) and
irreflexive (`pred(a, a)` is `false`). The $(LUCKY trichotomy property of
inequality) is not required: these algorithms consider elements `a` and `b` equal
(for the purpose of counting) if `pred` puts them in the same equivalence class,
i.e. `!pred(a, b) && !pred(b, a)`.

Params:
    pred = The ordering predicate to use to determine the extremum (minimum
        or maximum).
    range = The $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives) to count.

Returns: The minimum, respectively maximum element of a range together with the
number it occurs in the range.

Limitations: If at least one of the arguments is NaN, the result is
an unspecified value. See $(REF maxElement, std,algorithm,searching)
for examples on how to cope with NaNs.

Throws: `Exception` if `range.empty`.

/**
Iterates the passed range and returns the minimal element.
A custom mapping function can be passed to `map`.
In other languages this is sometimes called `argmin`.

Complexity: O(n)
    Exactly `n - 1` comparisons are needed.

Params:
    map = custom accessor for the comparison key
    r = range from which the minimal element will be selected
    seed = custom seed to use as initial element

Precondition: If a seed is not given, `r` must not be empty.

Returns: The minimal element of the passed-in range.

Note:
    If at least one of the arguments is NaN, the result is an unspecified value.

    If you want to ignore NaNs, you can use $(REF filter, std,algorithm,iteration)
    and $(REF isNaN, std,math) to remove them, before applying minElement.
    Add a suitable seed, to avoid error messages if all elements are NaNs:

    ---
    <range>.filter!(a=>!a.isNaN).minElement(<seed>);
    ---

    If you want to get NaN as a result if a NaN is present in the range,
    you can use $(REF fold, std,algorithm,iteration) and $(REF isNaN, std,math):

    ---
    <range>.fold!((a,b)=>a.isNaN || b.isNaN ? real.nan : a < b ? a : b);

// minPos
/**
Computes a subrange of `range` starting at the first occurrence of `range`'s
minimum (respectively maximum) and with the same ending as `range`, or the
empty range if `range` itself is empty.

Formally, the minimum is a value `x` in `range` such that `pred(a, x)` is
`false` for all values `a` in `range`. Conversely, the maximum is a value `x` in
`range` such that `pred(x, a)` is `false` for all values `a` in `range` (note
the swapped arguments to `pred`).

These functions may be used for computing arbitrary extrema by choosing `pred`
appropriately. For corrrect functioning, `pred` must be a strict partial order,
i.e. transitive (if `pred(a, b) && pred(b, c)` then `pred(a, c)`) and
irreflexive (`pred(a, a)` is `false`).

Params:
    pred = The ordering predicate to use to determine the extremum (minimum or
        maximum) element.
    range = The $(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives) to search.

Returns: The position of the minimum (respectively maximum) element of forward
range `range`, i.e. a subrange of `range` starting at the position of  its
smallest (respectively largest) element and with the same ending as `range`.

Limitations: If at least one of the arguments is NaN, the result is
an unspecified value. See $(REF maxElement, std,algorithm,searching)
for examples on how to cope with NaNs.

/**
Checks whether the given
$(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives) starts with (one
of) the given needle(s) or, if no needles are given,
if its front element fulfils predicate `pred`.

For more information about `pred` see $(LREF find).

Params:

    pred = Predicate to use in comparing the elements of the haystack and the
        needle(s). Mandatory if no needles are given.

    doesThisStart = The input range to check.

    withOneOfThese = The needles against which the range is to be checked,
        which may be individual elements or input ranges of elements.

    withThis = The single needle to check, which may be either a single element
        or an input range of elements.

Returns:

0 if the needle(s) do not occur at the beginning of the given range;
otherwise the position of the matching needle, that is, 1 if the range starts
with `withOneOfThese[0]`, 2 if it starts with `withOneOfThese[1]`, and so
on.

In the case where `doesThisStart` starts with multiple of the ranges or
elements in `withOneOfThese`, then the shortest one matches (if there are
two which match which are of the same length (e.g. `"a"` and `'a'`), then
the left-most of them in the argument
list matches).

In the case when no needle parameters are given, return `true` iff front of
`doesThisStart` fulfils predicate `pred`.

/**
Lazily iterates `range` _until the element `e` for which
`pred(e, sentinel)` is true.

This is similar to `takeWhile` in other languages.

Params:
    pred = Predicate to determine when to stop.
    range = The $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives)
    to iterate over.
    sentinel = The element to stop at.
    openRight = Determines whether the element for which the given predicate is
        true should be included in the resulting range (`No.openRight`), or
        not (`Yes.openRight`).

Returns:
    An $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives) that
    iterates over the original range's elements, but ends when the specified
    predicate becomes true. If the original range is a
    $(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives) or
    higher, this range will be a forward range.
