D - Help: converting Performance code

The team of Koenig & Moo provided the following code in their column "Two

would be willing to help me convert it to D?

I looked at the documentation for Arrays, however, I was unable to find a D
equivalent for C++ iterators.

 Thanks a million.

While your example works, I wish to point out a style issue. It isn't
copy-on-write. General purpose functions that operate on arrays should dup
them if they modify the array. This avoids all kinds of ownership problems,
which your example deals with by having the caller do the dup rather than
the (I think properly) callee doing it.

He he. I was fully aware of them at the time, but just wanted to emulate the
original poster's sample code. :)

I agree wholeheartedly with the philosophy you're talking about - especially
since we don't have const, harrummpph - and think that's something we should
kind of get into as a D convention.
