It is desirable to be able to stringize all existing D types (with `noreturn` being exception). Currently, this doesn’t even compile:
import std.range, std.conv;
void main() {
auto s = 42.repeat.to!string;
}
> Error: none of the overloads of template `std.conv.toImpl`
> are callable using argument types `!(string)(Repeat!int)`
And this compiles but gets stuck in an infinite loop:
import std.range, std.format;
void main() {
auto s = format("%s", 42.repeat);
}
An infinite range could be denoted by printing its first three elements followed by an ellipsis (in this case: "[42, 42, 42, ...]").
