wc in D: 712 Characters Without a Single Branch

[Mike Parker]

Robert Schadek was inspired by a post he saw on Hacker News a 
while back showing an implementation of wc in Haskell totaling 80 
lines. He decided he could do better in D. So he did. This post 
on the D blog shows what he came up with and also provides a 
brief introduction to ranges.
