Ranges suck!

[Your name via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Every time I go to use something like strip it bitches and gives 
me errors. Why can't I simply do somestring.strip("\n")???

import std.string would be the likely strip yet it takes a range 
and somestring, for some retarded reason, isn't a range. strip 
isn't the only function that does this. Who ever implemented 
ranges the way they did needs to get their head checked!

How bout you make these functions work on strings automatically 
so it works without moronic errors. Every sane programming(not 
including D) does not try to toy with the programmer and make 
them figure out retarded rules that make no sense logically. 
strip is meant to be used on strings in most cases so having 
direct and easy access to it should override trying to force 
ranges down my throat. I'm not a porn star. No other language 
plays these guys, why does D do it?

Ok, so I know what your saying "Oh, but strip("\n") should be 
strip()! Your a moron RTFM!" But why then force me to strip for 
nothing? Why not pay me? e.g., let me strip for something like 
strip("x")?

Oh, chomp? Is that the function I'm suppose to use? Seriously? 
Was the D lib written by someone with a pacman fetish?
