Well, std.stdio will give you a way to read binary files, so you can use that, 
but you should probably avoid std.stream. As far as I know, it works just fine, 
but it's scheduled for deprecation as soon as a replacement has been decided on. 
std.stream is not range-based, and the phobos developers what streams in phobos 
to be range-based, so they plan to replace std.stream, but they're still trying 
to figure out what the best design for the the new std.stream should be, and so I 
have no idea when it'll actually be replaced.
