But x.moveFront doesn't modify x.

What I want is to transform my uses of std.range from

if (!x.empty)
{
     x.front.doStuff;
     x.popFront;
}

into

if (!x.empty)
     if (auto front = x.stealFront)
     {
         front.doStuff;
     }

This is more functional/atomic, that is it reduces the risk of 
accidentally forgetting to call popFront at the end.

Destroy!
