In the end I used the deprecated leastSize property to create a right
size buffer so the read function never tries to read more data than it
has. This gets round the exception being thrown and makes for quite a
nice solution.

The problem is of course the leastSize property is being deprecated.
This seems like a bad idea to me, especially given the read function is
actually broken with respect reads shorter than the buffer.

Any chance of you doing an article on D and vibe.d proper use prompted
by this Code Critique so as to show CVu readers what vibe.d is really
like – as opposed to the rather negative image readers will get from
this Code Critique.
