Another drawback is that ranges demand a lot of boilerplate code. If properly implemented, there is a lot of code you have to write over and over again such as

if (isInputRange!Range && isInputRange!(ElementType!Range) &&
        is(ElementType!(ElementType!Range) == MyType))

I don't know if this could possibly be reduced. Or maybe it's just my lack of experience.

If you've got a lot of repeated template constraints, simply moving them out in to a separate template can be useful e.g.

template isIRofIRofT(Range, T)
{
    enum isRoRoT = isInputRange!Range
                && isInputRange!(ElementType!Range)
                && is(ElementType!(ElementType!Range) == T);
}

if(isIRofIRofT!(Range, MyType))
