std.zlib handles gzip but it doesn't present a file nor range 
interface over it.

This will work though:

void main() {
         import std.zlib;
         import std.stdio;
         auto uc = new UnCompress();

         foreach(chunk; File("testd.gz").byChunk(1024)) {
                 auto uncompressed = uc.uncompress(chunk);
                 writeln(cast(string) uncompressed);
         }

         // also look at anything left in the buffer
         writeln(cast(string) uc.flush());
}


And if you are writing, use new Compress(HeaderFormat.gzip) then 
call the compress method and write what it returns to teh file.
