Returns true if R is a random-access range. A random-access range is a bidirectional range that also offers the primitive opIndex, OR an infinite forward range that offers opIndex. In either case, the range must either offer length or be infinite. The following code should compile for any random-access range.
The semantics of a random-access range (not checkable during compilation) are assumed to be the following (r is an object of type R):
Although char[] and wchar[] (as well as their qualified versions including string and wstring) are arrays, isRandomAccessRange yields false for them because they use variable-length encodings (UTF-8 and UTF-16 respectively). These types are bidirectional ranges only.
