1. byLine is documented to return a LinesReader, but that is the only
mention of LinesReader anywhere

2. stdin and stdout are mentioned in passing several times, but they need their
own entries explaining what they are

3. LinesReader should say that it has an element type of dchar, decoding UTF8
as required

4. The canoncial program to read from stdin and write to stdout should be given
as an example:

import std.stdio;
import std.algorithm;

void main() {
    stdin.byChunk(1024).copy(stdout.lockingTextWriter());
}

5. byChunk should document what its element type is

6. byDchar is undocumented
