           Summary: eager apply for ranges
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

The use-case

foreach (c; "foobar".retro())
    writeln(c);

"foobar".retro.apply!writeln();

This is not a functional component because it's mostly useful for void
functions with side effect. Currently one needs to mix foreach and UFCS.

Not sure about the name, maybe sink or apply.
Or we could modify std.algorithm.reduce to allow void functions.

NB: The function is not supposed to produce a result (we have

This is a common need, perhaps such request is already in Bugzilla.

"sink" is probably better left for output ranges, etc.

"apply" function usually has another meaning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apply

So I suggest names like "forEach", that underlines its imperative nature.

Reduce has a different meaning. Here you are not "reducing".

Simply each is enough and has precedents in other languages like Groovy and
Ruby.

Yep, 'each' is good.
