You could also use std.datetime.Interval and do something like

auto datesInYear(int year)
{
    auto interval = Interval!Date(Date(year, 1, 1), Date(year + 1, 1, 1));
    return interval.fwdRange((a){return a + dur!"days"(1);});
}

I do think that I need to revisit how ranges work with intervals in 
std.datetime, as they're a bit clunky.
