RangeExtensions

This package enables the usage of System.Range in foreach expressions and provides extensions to integrate it with LINQ as a faster replacement to Enumerable.Range.

Correctness is verified against IEnumerable<int> and Enumerable.Range behavior;
Implementation tries its best to make abstractions either zero-cost or reasonably close to that. For critical paths, performance is tuned to be allocation-free and on par with regular for loops

Features

Range enumeration

foreach (var i in ..100) // you can write 0..Length as just ..Length
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}

Reverse range enumeration

for (var i = 100 - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}

// Can be written as
foreach (var i in 100..0)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}

Select and Where

var floats = (0..100).Select(i => (float)i);
var odd = (0..100).Where(i => i % 2 != 0);

var randomNumbers = (0..1000)
    .Select(_ => Random.Shared.Next())
    .ToArray();

Collecting to array or list

var numbers = (0..100).ToArray();

Aggregate

var digits = (0..10)
    .Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (sb, i) => sb.Append(i))
    .ToString();

Assert.Equal("0123456789", digits);

Other LINQ specializations

var enumerable = (..100).AsEnumerable();

var sum = enumerable.Sum();
var count = enumerable.Count;
var average = enumerable.Average();
var firstTen = enumerable.Take(10);
var reversed = enumerable.Reverse();
// and others

Performance

In .NET 7, foreach (var i in 0..Length) has the same performance as for loop. Otherwise, RangeExtensions is 2 to >10 times faster than Enumerable.Range. Using DynamicPGO significantly improves the performance of both.
