Great book but a lot has changed in D since the book was written in 
2010. Your issue is in the book's errata:

So, the following should work today:

import std.stdio, std.string;
import std.algorithm;

void main(){
     ulong[string] dictionary;
     foreach (line; stdin.byLine()){
         foreach (word; splitter(strip(line))){
             if (word in dictionary) continue;
             auto newID = dictionary.length;
             dictionary[word.idup] = newID;
             writeln(newID, '\t', word);
         }
     }
}
