You probably need to cache the generated elements so that they can be reused. Or you could try using std.algorithm.iteration.chunkBy instead, which *can* work with mere input ranges (that aren't necessarily forward ranges). Note, though, that you would only be able to evaluate each element once, and calling popFront on the outer range will discard all elements in the current chunk. This is generally OK for single-pass algorithms, but if you ever need to backtrack or process chunk elements out-of-order, it won't work and you'll need to cache.
