It should be in the documentation of std.range.isForwardRange(), but 
Andrei seems to have forgotten it.  He did describe it in his 'On 
Iteration' article, though:

http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1407357

Check out page 7, section 'Forward Ranges'.  (I think the whole article 
is worth reading, if you haven't already -- it really helped me 
understand ranges.)
