How is it simpler?

sink(): simple delegate with the signature void delegate(char[] data);
output range: um what...? yeah, I know it has a put() method that 
takes... something. What exactly is it supposed to take in your example? 
Is streamOut() a method of the object to be dumped? What exact types to 
T and R have? (You need the exact type if streamOut is supposed to be a 
member function, and thus has to be virtual, so that you can it use like 
the Object.toString method.)

Probably. Just imagine you had to explain it to someone who's new to D. 
Actually, I _am_ new to D2.0.

So, um... what is a b c and T object?
