std.array.array will never work with ranges with a transient front unless it somehow knew when it was and wasn't appropriate to dup, which it's not going to know purely by looking at the type of front. The creator of the range would have to tell them somehow. And even then, it wouldn't work beyond the built-in
types, because there's no generic way to dup stuff.

Daniel was actually talking about std.byLine.map!"a.dup", which is not a transient range, but would be considered transient if we did what Andrei suggests.
