Aside from the imports, it can be turned into a one-liner if 
you use take:

return cmp(take(a, n), take(b, n));

Thanks Adam and Jonathan for your solutions.

For reference, one of the imports Jonathan is referring to is
   import std.range;

I did not know about take.  Well, i also did not know about cmp.  
So my code is probably not very idiomatic.  But i do appreciate 
all of you d-learn people!
