What exactly is the problem with requiring the input to the sink to be a string 
(or actually const(char)[])?
Requiring an overload for every basic type + Object would be quite cumbersome if 
you had to do it every time you want to send the output somewhere else. Also, it 
wouldn't work for structs and unions...
(Unless you plan to implement a default OutRange that converts everything it 
gets to strings and passes it on?)
