With the latest SVN versions of Phobos and DMD the following static assert
fails:

import std.range;

void main() {
    auto myIota = iota(1000);
    static assert(hasLength!(typeof(myIota)));
}


IMHO this is a blocker for releasing 2.053 because iota is very frequently used
with parallel foreach loops and parallel foreach is much less efficient if
iterating over a range without a length.

(SVN? You mean git?)

The problem is length() is an auto-return function, and somehow typeof() cannot
find the return type from this function:

--------------------------------------------------
import std.range;
struct X {  property auto length() { return 0; } }
pragma(msg, typeof(X.init.length));   // ()
--------------------------------------------------

Because of this, is(typeof(X.init.length) : ulong) cannot be true, and return
hasLength returns false.

This is more a DMD problem than a Phobos problem.

Of course the DMD bug should be fixed but Iota is too important to fail, so
this specific case has been worked around:

OK. The DMD bug is now filed as issue 5933.
