To be fair, it's a bit simpler than that in Tango:

foreach (line; new TextFileInput("foobar.txt"))
    Cout (line).newline;
}

This one too:

auto contents = File.get("foobar.bin");

get is a static method in the File class.


But I won't pretend that I think Tango I/O is easy to use.  There's a 
lot of interfaces and classes, and usually several ways to accomplish 
the same thing.  Some classes are just thin wrappers over others, which 
can be confusing.
