That wouldn't be possible if the parser has to operate on an InputRange. It could work with a ForwardRange, but converting the Range back to a string wouldn't be very efficient. This would work best with some kind of BufferedRange/Stream concept. I'm just wondering whether it really makes sense to use ranges in this case. The text representation of UUIDs is usually exactly 36 characters long (for the simple parser it must be exactly 36 characters), so when using some kind of range interface and std.uuid it should be easy enough to read the UUID string into a stack buffer, then pass it to std.uuid. But if it's really desired, I can sure add an implementation using ForwardRanges.
