That's up to the archive how it chooses to implement it. But the current 
XmlArchive does so, yes. I becomes quite limited because of std.xml.

The serialized data is returned as an array, so that is compatible with 
the range interface, it just won't be lazy.

The input data used for deserializing excepts a void[], I don't think 
that's compatible with the range interface.

No, it's not a typo. If you read the documentation you'll see that:

"If no fields or "this" is specified, it indicates that the whole 
class/struct should not be (de)serialized."
