Adding range primitives on top of a stream does not make sense.
Are ready to implement a parallel universe of stream based algorithms to
go alongside all the range based ones and be ready to constantly justify

Not necessary. You just need to implement one range on top of a buffered
stream, and then it works with all other algorithms that accept input
ranges.
I'm also curious what a generic read() should do when the stream is
empty.
Returns 0 elements read.
