I am still in the process of learning D - it's a fantastic language. Thanks so much! However there is one thing that I came by which I think is a bit annoying and could be easily solved - there seems to be no way to combine `front` and `popFront` in one call even tough this use case seems quite frequently to me. At least I am used from Python to use next(<some lazy loaded stream>) to get its next element and I desperately searched for similar method in D.I know that I can use `.front` and `popFront`, but why isn't there `pop` or `next` that returns the first element from the lazy loaded range? I know there is `takeOne` (which doesn't modify the source) and `dropOne` (which will return the resulting array after dropping one element). In any case such a next method would be very easy to implement (see below) and thus I am wondering why it isn't part of phobos? ``` auto next(Range)(ref Range a){ auto b = a.front; a.popFront(); return b; } ```` Thanks for your input!
Oh but there is: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_range_primitives.html#.moveFront
