With the help of a template constraint you can abstract this. It 
looks like your problem is more getting the whole range since 
.byLine or .byChunk don't return the full stuff. Maybe use 
std.alsorithm.joiner. As you noted you can carry the iterator 
without knowing the type with auto, example:

---
import std.stdio;
import std.range, std.algorithm;

void main(string[] args)
{
     auto inputRange = File(__FILE__).byChunk(1024).joiner;
     Foo foo = Foo(inputRange);
}

struct Foo
{
     this(T)(T t)
     if (isInputRange!T && is(ElementType!T == ubyte))
     {
         foreach(byte b; t)
         {
             writef("0x%.2X ", b);
             if (b == 0xA) writeln;
         }
     }
}
