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),
I don't see why that should be true.
How do you tell front and popFront how many bytes to read?
std.byLine() does it.
And is what you want to do with a text file in many cases.
In general, you can read n bytes by calling empty, front, and popFront n times.
Why would anybody want to read a large binary file _one byte at a time_?
