/**
This module is a submodule of $(MREF std, range).

It defines the bidirectional and forward range primitives for arrays:
$(LREF empty), $(LREF front), $(LREF back), $(LREF popFront), $(LREF popBack) and $(LREF save).

It provides basic range functionality by defining several templates for testing
whether a given object is a range, and what kind of range it is:

$(SCRIPT inhibitQuickIndex = 1;)
$(DIVC quickindex,
$(BOOKTABLE ,
    $(TR $(TD $(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 `front`, `popFront`, and `empty`.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF isOutputRange))
        $(TD Tests if something is an $(I output range), defined to be
        something to which one can sequentially write data using the
        $(LREF put) primitive.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(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 `save` primitive, thus allowing one to
        iterate over the same range multiple times.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF isBidirectionalRange))
        $(TD Tests if something is a $(I bidirectional range), that is, a
        forward range that allows reverse traversal using the primitives $(D
        back) and `popBack`.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(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 `opIndex`.
    ))
))

It also provides number of templates that test for various range capabilities:

$(BOOKTABLE ,
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF hasMobileElements))
        $(TD Tests if a given range's elements can be moved around using the
        primitives `moveFront`, `moveBack`, or `moveAt`.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF ElementType))
        $(TD Returns the element type of a given range.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF ElementEncodingType))
        $(TD Returns the encoding element type of a given range.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF hasSwappableElements))
        $(TD Tests if a range is a forward range with swappable elements.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF hasAssignableElements))
        $(TD Tests if a range is a forward range with mutable elements.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(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 $(LREF hasLength))
        $(TD Tests if a given range has the `length` attribute.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF isInfinite))
        $(TD Tests if a given range is an $(I infinite range).
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF hasSlicing))
        $(TD Tests if a given range supports the array slicing operation $(D
        R[x .. y]).
    ))
)

Finally, it includes some convenience functions for manipulating ranges:

$(BOOKTABLE ,
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF popFrontN))
        $(TD Advances a given range by up to $(I n) elements.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF popBackN))
        $(TD Advances a given bidirectional range from the right by up to
        $(I n) elements.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF popFrontExactly))
        $(TD Advances a given range by up exactly $(I n) elements.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF popBackExactly))
        $(TD Advances a given bidirectional range from the right by exactly
        $(I n) elements.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF moveFront))
        $(TD Removes the front element of a range.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF moveBack))
        $(TD Removes the back element of a bidirectional range.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF moveAt))
        $(TD Removes the $(I i)'th element of a random-access range.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF walkLength))
        $(TD Computes the length of any range in O(n) time.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF put))
        $(TD Outputs element `e` to a range.
    ))
)

/**
Returns `true` if `R` is an input range. An input range must
define the primitives `empty`, `popFront`, and `front`. The
following code should compile for any input range.

----
R r;              // can define a range object
if (r.empty) {}   // can test for empty
r.popFront();     // can invoke popFront()
auto h = r.front; // can get the front of the range of non-void type
----

The following are rules of input ranges are assumed to hold true in all
Phobos code. These rules are not checkable at compile-time, so not conforming
to these rules when writing ranges or range based code will result in
undefined behavior.

$(UL
    $(LI `r.empty` returns `false` if and only if there is more data
    available in the range.)
    $(LI `r.empty` evaluated multiple times, without calling
    `r.popFront`, or otherwise mutating the range object or the
    underlying data, yields the same result for every evaluation.)
    $(LI `r.front` returns the current element in the range.
    It may return by value or by reference.)
    $(LI `r.front` can be legally evaluated if and only if evaluating
    `r.empty` has, or would have, equaled `false`.)
    $(LI `r.front` evaluated multiple times, without calling
    `r.popFront`, or otherwise mutating the range object or the
    underlying data, yields the same result for every evaluation.)
    $(LI `r.popFront` advances to the next element in the range.)
    $(LI `r.popFront` can be called if and only if evaluating `r.empty`
    has, or would have, equaled `false`.)
)

Also, note that Phobos code assumes that the primitives `r.front` and
`r.empty` are $(BIGOH 1) time complexity wise or "cheap" in terms of
running time. $(BIGOH) statements in the documentation of range functions
are made with this assumption.

    The header of $(MREF std,range) for tutorials on ranges.

Params:

    E = if present, the elements of the range must be

puts the whole raw element `e` into `r`. doPut will not attempt to
iterate, slice or transcode `e` in any way shape or form. It will $(B only)
call the correct primitive (`r.put(e)`,  $(D r.front = e) or
`r(e)` once.

This can be important when `e` needs to be placed in `r` unchanged.
Furthermore, it can be useful when working with `InputRange`s, as doPut
guarantees that no more than a single element will be placed.

Outputs `e` to `r`. The exact effect is dependent upon the two
types. Several cases are accepted, as described below. The code snippets
are attempted in order, and the first to compile "wins" and gets
evaluated.

In this table "doPut" is a method that places `e` into `r`, using the
correct primitive: `r.put(e)` if `R` defines `put`, $(D r.front = e)
if `r` is an input range (followed by `r.popFront()`), or `r(e)`
otherwise.

Tip: `put` should $(I not) be used "UFCS-style", e.g. `r.put(e)`.
Doing this may call `R.put` directly, by-passing any transformation
feature provided by `Range.put`. $(D put(r, e)) is prefered.

supports the operation $(D doPut(r, e)) as defined above. if $(D doPut(r, e))
is valid, then `put(r,e)` will have the same behavior.

The two guarantees isNativeOutputRange gives over the larger `isOutputRange`
are:
1: `e` is $(B exactly) what will be placed (not `[e]`, for example).
2: if `E` is a non $(empty) `InputRange`, then placing `e` is
guaranteed to not overflow the range.

/**
Returns `true` if `R` is a forward range. A forward range is an
input range `r` that can save "checkpoints" by saving `r.save`
to another value of type `R`. Notable examples of input ranges that
are $(I not) forward ranges are file/socket ranges; copying such a
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
memory. Subsequently, advancing either the original or the copy will
advance the stream, so the copies are not independent.

The following code should compile for any forward range.

----
static assert(isInputRange!R);
R r1;
auto s1 = r1.save;
static assert(is(typeof(s1) == R));
----

Saving a range is not duplicating it; in the example above, `r1`
and `r2` still refer to the same underlying data. They just
navigate that data independently.

The semantics of a forward range (not checkable during compilation)
are the same as for an input range, with the additional requirement
that backtracking must be possible by saving a copy of the range
object with `save` and using it later.

`save` behaves in many ways like a copy constructor, and its
implementation typically is done using copy construction.

The existence of a copy constructor, however, does not imply
the range is a forward range. For example, a range that reads
from a TTY consumes its input and cannot save its place and
read it again, and so cannot be a forward range and cannot
have a `save` function.

Note that `length` is an optional primitive as no range must implement it. Some
ranges do not store their length explicitly, some cannot compute it without
actually exhausting the range (e.g. socket streams), and some other ranges may
be infinite.

Although narrow string types (`char[]`, `wchar[]`, and their qualified
derivatives) do define a `length` property, `hasLength` yields `false` for them.
This is because a narrow string's length does not reflect the number of
characters, but instead the number of encoding units, and as such is not useful
with range-oriented algorithms. To use strings as random-access ranges with
length, use $(REF representation, std, string) or $(REF byCodeUnit, std, utf).

Otherwise, walks the range through its length and returns the number
of elements seen. Performes $(BIGOH n) evaluations of `range.empty`

The `upTo` parameter is useful to "cut the losses" in case
the interest is in seeing whether the range has at least some number

Infinite ranges are compatible, provided the parameter `upTo` is

the first argument using the dot notation, `array.back` is
equivalent to `back(array)`. For $(GLOSSARY narrow strings), $(D
back) automatically returns the last $(GLOSSARY code point) as _a $(D
dchar).
