Ranges have equivalents in other languages:

all these languages have special stream types for raw data. I don't
think it's bad if we also have streams/ranges separate in D.
Do you see a point to be able to, in an algorithm, seamlessly swap a
socket with a string?
Certainly NOT a socket. There is no escaping the fact that there are specifics
to unbuffered direct streams.
What you mention only makes sense with buffering either implicit or (I'd prefer)
explicit.
Yes, it does require a one element buffer. But seriously, does a one character
buffer from a socket have a measurable impact on reading from a network? I'm an
efficiency wonk as much or more than anyone, and this appears to me to be a
false savings.
