There is interest in getting a CSV parser in D. Of which I was hoping to be able to make use of a ForwardRange with Slicing... but could not find a way turn a buffered input range into a forward range. This made my second attempt useless for input ranges.

The benefit of the second is that you can using string to make a separator, or would be if startsWith worked as I want. But started working on the first to make it closer to what should be available in the standard library.
