It's not supposed to work with a slice like that. It accepts arguments by ref
and pops off elements from the range that it's given, so it requires that you
give it an lvalue, which is what you did with

string s2 = str[1..$];
decodeFront(s2, size);

It accepted rvalues in 2.062, but that resulted in very inconsistent and
potentially buggy behavior (depending on the type of range), so it now accepts
the range by ref.
