In other words, a stream of bytes, not a good range (who wants

There are several cases where one would want one byte at the
time; e.g. as an input to another range that produces the utf
text as an output.
I do agree for e.g. with binary data some data can't be read with
ranges (when you need to read small chunks of varying size), but
that doesn't mean most things shouldn't be ranged-based.
