Idiom #196 Pass a sub-array

Given an integer array a of size n, pass the first, third, fifth and seventh, ... up to the m th element to a routine foo which sets all these elements to 42.

void Foo(out int element)
{
    element = 42;
}

for (int i = 0; i < m; i += 2)
{
    Foo(out a[i]);
}

a.Length is the size of a at run-time.

Requires m <= a.Length; the code does not verify this beforehand.

References to individual elements are passed to Foo().
import std.range;
void foo(Range)(Range r) {
	r.fill(42);
}

foo(a.indexed(iota(0,m,2)));
