The function you are looking for is [`std.range.tee`][1].
It was added to Phobos in 2014 by [pull request #1965][2],
approximately one year after the post you replied to.
This is why it's generally frowned upon to revive old threads:
the information they contain is often out of date, and
potentially misleading to anyone who reads them without looking
carefully at the timestamps.

I had see the std.range.tee, but it does not appear to me to be
the same as itertools.tee. I think with std.range.tee you get an
input range and an output range out of an input range. With
python's itertool.tee you get two or more input ranges from an
input range (hence my claim earlier that it sort of simulates
forwardRange.save).
I felt the need to reply in-line to correct the misconception
from that post that itertools.tee "basically works on
forwardRanges". It does something very different, there is no
"forwardRange" in python the only range concept (iterators) are
equivalent to inputRanges and nothing more.
