So, I don't really know what the right answer is, but I _really_ don't like
the idea of having to worry about the result of front changing after a call
to popFront in every single function that ever uses front. In the general
case, I just don't see how that's tenable. I'd _much_ rather that it be up
to the programmer using abnormal ranges such as ByLine to use them
correctly.
And actually, it seems to me that issues like this make it look like it was a
mistake to make ranges like ByLine ranges in the first place. They should have
just defined opApply so that they'd work nicely in foreach but not with range-
based functions. They're clearly not going to work with a _lot_ of range-based
functions.
I think integration of pure streams within ranges is important and
beneficial.
