I believe phoboes and "contract programming" to break code that 
should otherwise work(I know of spefic examples where coping and 
pasting the function without the contract compiles)

Its possible to detect differences here and the real code range 
api that actually being used by phoebes is actually oo-y

If you care about the api I could add some variant of this 
function:

```d
auto ref next(R)(R r){
   auto e=&(r.front);
   r.popFront;
   return *e;
}
```
(would need to test several situation to find version that 
actually works with both ref and nonref front)
