Question: Should this new restriction only be applied to
*Input*Ranges? If so, then it might make more sense.
Ranges that also satisfy the *Forward* interface (which has
save), or specifically, the *Output* interface (that doesn't
even have empty) should not have this obligation. In
particular, output ranges *write*, so usually can't even buffer
data.
*Input*-only Ranges are the ones that are usually implemented
over streams, and that are most subject to the "test empty"
issue too, so they are the ones that need this restriction.
Could this maybe be a good solution for everyone?
Did this conversation die the instant I actually had something
smart to say?
@andralex, @WalterBright ? Thoughts?
