digitalmars.D.learn - Using a range as a reference

Hi all,

I've a custom generator, and is modelled as a structure 
forwardRange, and I want to be able to use it like this, printing 
the first ten fibonacci:

---
struct ForEacher(Range){
     Range* r;
     this(ref Range r_){ r=&r_; }
      property bool empty(){ return r.empty; }
      property auto front(){ return r.front; }
     void popFront(){ r.popFront(); }
}
auto forEacher(Range)(ref Range r){
     return ForEacher!Range(r);
}
void main(){
     auto fib = recurrence!("a[n-1] + a[n-2]")(1, 1);

     foreach(e; fib.forEacher){
         static i = 0; i++; if(i == 5) break;
         writeln(e);
     }
     foreach(e; fib.forEacher){
         static j = 0; j++; if(j == 5) break;
         writeln(e);
     }

     or

     writeln(fib.forEacher.take(5));
     writeln(fib.forEacher.take(5));

}
---

There's something in phobos like the 'forEacher'? What is the 
best strategy for something like that?

Exactly, thank you!
I've missed it as it is not listed in the tables of the range 
documentation, like the others, but only in the top-index...

That would be a documentation bug. Please file a bug on
