Actually, the problem has been fixed in git HEAD, it's just that 2.063 doesn't have the fix. The basic cause is that std.range.chunks in 2.063 and earlier requires slicing, but I need to use it with a forward range that doesn't have slicing. This limitation has been removed in git HEAD (upcoming 2.064). I've already solved the problem in the code by using "static if (__VERSION__ < 2064L)" and providing a bare-bones replacement of std.range.chunks that does support forward ranges.
