Re: how to skip the next (n) item & continue from (n+1) with a range ? e.g. in File(fn).byLine();

I wouldn't recommend it, instead do a while loop:

auto range = File(fn).byLine;

while(!range.empty)
{
   auto line = range.front;
   if(someCond(line)) {
        range.popFrontN(n);

I'm asking this, because here it need to be

either

range.popFrontN(n+1);

i.e. bug-prone

or

can be fixed by:
   auto line = range.front;
   range.popFront;  // pop immediately

of course.
