There is std.ascii.newline. The following works where newline is '\n' 
e.g. on my Linux system. :)

import std.ascii;
import std.algorithm;
import std.range;

void main()
{
     assert("foo\nbar\n"
            .splitter(newline)
            .filter!(a => !a.empty)
            .equal([ "foo", "bar" ]));
}
