I tried making RangeWrapper an InputRange but failed. It still 
uses 'range'.

// Still fails with these:
    @property bool empty() {
        return range.empty;
    }

    void popFront() {
        range.popFront();
    }

I don't know how the decision process works there.

That's strange, as RangeWrapper works correctly if instantiated 
with any underlying range EXCEPT std.container.Array.
Also, RangeWrapper does provide the InputRange interface, 
partially directly and partially with alias this. RangeWrapper 
should be "opaque", as it should not matter whether the methods 
needed for the InputRange interface are defined directly or 
inherited with alias this.
