I personally think it can be used very well with foreach:
```d
// Estimate π using random integers
void main()
{
     import std.stdio, std.range, std.random, std.math, std.conv, 
std.numeric;
     Mt19937_64 randomGen; randomGen.seed(unpredictableSeed!ulong);
     int pairCount = 1_000_000;
     int coprimeCount = 0;
     foreach (randomPair; randomGen.chunks(2).take(pairCount)) {
         if (gcd(randomPair.front, randomPair.dropOne.front) == 1)
             coprimeCount++;
     }
     double prob = coprimeCount.to!double / pairCount.to!double;
     writefln("π ≈ %.15f", sqrt(6.0 / prob));
}
```

Though I would have liked more if the `take` amount could be a 
template parameter instead so it could be tuples where I can 
directly take [0] and [1]
