It bugs me too, though I have done it.
I think the right answer of why it is odd is because writeln
is void. As soon as it is placed on the end the chain is
broken and you can't expand on it.
This is no different from any other "sink" that consumes a
range:
someSource
.map!foo
.filter!bar
.splitter(baz)
.each!quux;
`each` returns void [1], so using it ends the chain. But that's
not a problem, because the whole *point* of using `each` is to
consume the range.
[1] Not exactly, but close enough.
I believe one can use tee!(writeln) to avoid consuming the range.
