I've traced the root issue to formattedRead's signature, which is:
uint formattedRead(R, Char, S...)(ref R r, const(Char)[] fmt, S args);


As I explained above the reason is because the only sane logic of
multiple reads is to consume input and to do so it needs ref.

I had actually considered that argument. But a lot of algorithms have
the same approach, yet they don't take refs, they *return* the consumed
front:

----
R formattedRead(R, Char, S...)(R r, const(Char)[] fmt, S args)

auto s2 = formatedRead(s, "%d", &v);
----

Or arguably:

----
Tuple!(size_t, R) formattedRead(R, Char, S...)(R r, const(Char)[] fmt, S
args)
----

"minCount", "boyerMooreFinder" and "levenshteinDistanceAndPath" all take
this approach to return a consumed range plus an index/count.

It's because `formattedRead` is designed to work with an input range which isn't a forward range (not save-able).
