1. copy's prototype is:

  Range2 copy(Range1, Range2)(Range1 source, Range2 target);

It would be more self-documenting written as:

  OutputRange copy(InputRange, OutputRange)(InputRange source, OutputRange
target);

In general, for all the algorithms that deal with ranges, the range types
should be named after the type of range expected - ForwardRange, InputRange,
BidirectionalRange, etc.


2. map has inconsistent use of element names - calling it x in the description
and e in the example code. Should use the same name in each. Check other
descriptions for similar issues.


3. joiner should include a "See Also" link to the very similar std.range.chain
