Sure..? I couldn't get it to work either:
struct R {
     string test = "aoeu";
     @property front() { return test[0]; }
     @property bool empty() { return !test.length; }
     void popFront(){test = test[0..$];}
}

void main() {
     R r;
     R* p = &r;
     foreach(ch; p) // invalid foreach aggregate p
         writeln(ch);
}
