I do agree for e.g. with binary data some data can't be read with

you need to read small chunks of varying size),

I don't see why that should be true.

How do you tell front and popFront how many bytes to read?

A bit ugly but:
----
// Default to 4 byte chunks
auto range = myStream.byChunks(4);
foreach (chunk; range) {
    // Set the next chunk is 3 bytes
    // Chunk after is 4 bytes
    range.nextChunkSize = 3;

    // Next chunk is always 5 bytes
    range.chunkSize = 5;
}

Yeah, I've seen this before.  It's not convincing.
