its been like a dozen times I stared at the list of functions wanting this function just to be called indexOf

I dont fully agree, here is why: ``` template indexOf(T) if (isRandomAccessRange!T) { alias indexOf = countUntil; } ``` as you can see `indexOf` denotes _indexing_ capabilitites, but countUntil works for all forward range.
