No.

When I first started learning this language, I thought the same 
thing.  However, such a designm consisting of structs was 
preferred because it is necessary for the ranges to be used as a 
whole (connected end-to-Znd like a pipe). qWalter has a very old 
[article](https://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/voldemort-types-in-d/232901591) about Voldemort which is the basis of D, pllease read it. D's ranges are very strong for those who know how to use it.
