It's because not actually a range adaptor or string adaptor, but 
an stdio function:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html#.File.byChunk
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html#.File.byLine

It's designed that way as to avoid allocating a new buffer.

That said, "std.algorithm.splitter" will lazily split a range of 
characters into lines, if you give it the "right" terminator. 
Unfortunately, it only accepts a single terminator, or a pred, so 
you can't do "splitter('\n' "\r\n")".

You can also use 
"http://dlang.org/phobos/std_string.html#.splitLines" to eagerly 
and conveniently (and correctly) do this.
