foreach(i ; parallel(1 .. 11))

    ...
}

I would have expected 1 .. 10 to give me a range, and parallel to work 
with that.  Does 1 .. 11 ONLY work as part of the foreach() syntax?

If not, is there some sort of range generator helper, like python's range
() function, which I can use something like:

r = range(1,11);

foreach( i; parallel(r))
{
    ...
}



Thanks,

AFAIK, x..y syntax only works in foreach and in array slicing.

It's std.range.iota:

	foreach (i; parallel(iota(1, 11))) ...

should work.
