A nifty way of reading by byte is the undocumented (only the writer is  
documented):

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
     foreach(c; LockingTextReader(stdin))
         ....
}

by line is
     foreach(c; stdin.byLine)

and you should also be able to abuse the function to split by whitespace:

See the terminator parameter.
