PS, this version works and prints "10" for the length:

    string id = "somestring";
    auto rid = retro(id);
    //writeln(rid.length);
    writeln(rid.source.length);

Robert,

This stub shows the issue:

import std.stdio;
import std.range;

void main(string[] args)
  {
    string id = "somestring";
    auto rid = retro(id);
    writeln(rid.length);
  }

$: dmd  dtest.d
dtest.d(8): Error: no property 'length' for type 'Result'


I haven't applied either patch you mentioned below. Neither patch seems to
address retro() or Result...

Thanks John for tracking this down and finding a work around. It seems that the 
behavior of retro changed between 2.053 and 2.055. As you've probably already 
found, the errors are in the typeinfo2stringof function on line 245 of the 
currently uploaded variant.
