ugh... much simpler with a true stream-like range that supports what is
natural for streams:
for(int i = 0; i < count && !range.empty; i++) {
elements ~= range.get();
}
But of course, then this function doesn't work for other range types.
I decided in that discussion long ago that stream ranges were going to
suck.
You can always define a generic take() like this:
E take(R, E)(ref R range) {
E element = range.front;
range.popFront();
return element;
}
This will work for any forward range.
Except stream ranges. I don't get it...
