Well of course you can use ranges for it, see e.g. this simple 
example:

---
void main(string[] args)
{
     import std.conv, std.range, std.stdio;
     foreach (d; 
File(__FILE_FULL_PATH__).byChunk(4096).join.take(5)) {
         writefln("%s", d.to!char);
     }
}
---

Though if you need superb performance, iopipe or similar will be 
faster.
