Yes, this is the same workaround I found, but that does not
solve the fact that the following code does not compile:
While it may be too late to redeem Phobos and its handling of
arrays as ranges, it is worth noting that in the library I've
been working on the `isRange` template behaves like you're
expecting. In mach, `front` and `popFront` and `empty` are not
defined for strings; rather, functions that accept ranges also
accept types that ranges can be made to enumerate, including
strings and other arrays.
If you really wanted an `isInputRange` that behaves like you're
wanting, it's only a 6 line template that you would have to
interject in your code.
enum bool isInputRange(T) = is(typeof({
T range = T.init;
if(range.empty){}
auto element = range.front;
range.popFront();
}));
