how would I go about creating a Socket receiveAll method?

the way I'd do it btw is simply:

ubyte[] result;
ubyte[1024] buffer;
auto got = socket.receive(buffer[]);
while(got > 0) {
    result ~= buffer[0 .. got];
}

if(got < 0)
   throw new Exception(lastSocketError());

return result;


so it uses the one static buffer to receive the stuff one block 
at a time but just copies it over to the dynamic array with the 
~= operator
