With map, I need to slice as 'arr[]':

import std;

void main() {
   int[3] arr;

   arr.each!(e => e);    // Compiles
   // arr.map!(e => e);  // Fails to compile
   arr[].map!(e => e);   // Compiles
}

Why the inconsistency?

Phobos has dozens of random special cases throughout. I'd prefer 
if these were all removed, but right now there's just some 
functions that special case to allow it and others that don't.

Apparently each is one that does.

Special cases are always bad, inconsistency is a mental burden to 
the developers, and can even lead to serious but silent bugs when 
overlooked.

1) we should fix them as soon as we discover any of them
2) or at least doc such inconsistency with emphasize
