I got this error also while installing 2.047. I think the new definition of
a forward range asks for a .save() member. And I guess some ranges where not
converted. std.range.repeat is one, like cycle. It seems like Until is
another.

Maybe for repeat/cycle that was a conscious decision? I'll file a bug
anyway.
