--- Comment #1 from Ender KaShae <astrotha...@gmail.com> ---
Simply changing the Target to a ref wouldn't be backward compatible, because
then it wouldn't be possible to use an rvalue as a target, which is useful for
copying to an array slice, or using a range that wraps another output range,
such as retro.
Also, std.range.put _does_ take a reference, and can be used to copy a range.
Alternatively, copy returns the state of the output range after copying, so in
the MD5 example you could use `s.copy(d2).finish().toHexString` to get the
correct MD5 sum.
