Expand description

For these implementations, SpecRangeSetup calculates the number of iterations that will be needed and stores that in iter.end.

The various iterator implementations then rely on that to not need overflow checking, letting loops just be counted instead.

These only work for unsigned types, and will need to be reworked if you want to use it to specialize on signed types.

Currently these are only implemented for integers up to usize due to correctness issues around ExactSizeIterator impls on 16bit platforms. And since ExactSizeIterator is a prerequisite for backwards iteration and we must consistently specialize backwards and forwards iteration that makes the situation complicated enough that it’s not covered for now.
