If you want move semantics, use `moveFront`.
But x.moveFront doesn't modify x.
It does modify `x` as it leaves `front` in a destroyed and
default-initialized state, as required by move semantics.
What I want is to transform my uses of std.range from
if (!x.empty)
{
x.front.doStuff;
x.popFront;
}
into
if (!x.empty)
if (auto front = x.stealFront)
{
front.doStuff;
}
This is more functional/atomic, that is it reduces the risk of
accidentally forgetting to call popFront at the end.
Destroy!
The other half of my post explained why such a `stealFront` is
problematic.
