This minimal use case generates an error in std.algorithm:

    char[] s = "<html>Some fake HTML for your testing pleasure</html>".dup;
    auto start = s.find("<");
    auto len = s[start..$].find(">");
    s = s.remove(tuple(start, start+len+1));
    writeln(s);

The compile error I get from this is:

/usr/local/Cellar/dmd/2.054/src/phobos/std/algorithm.d(5826): Error: front(src)
is not an lvalue
/usr/local/Cellar/dmd/2.054/src/phobos/std/algorithm.d(5826): Error: front(tgt)
is not an lvalue

I pulled the most current version of Phobos from github and it has the same
problem, though there it occurs on line 5933.
