Two things off the top of my head:
1. std.stream doesn't correctly support files > 2GB on 32-bit Linux, and
possibly
on other OS's as well.
2. It doesn't have a range interface. I can't tell you how useful something
like
this is to me:
filter!"a.length > 0"(
map!strip(
File(myFilename).byLine()
)
);
That said, please don't use Java as a reference for how to design a stream API.
It just seems horribly verbose when trying to do something simple.
