std.stdio.File.byChunk reuses the content of buffer across calls, but I think the first call performs an allocation. Tango has shown that an important factor for the performance of D programs is to minimize memory allocations.

So an overloaded byChunk may be added with a signature similar to (so the older
byChunk() is not removed, this is added):
chunks byChunk(void[] buffer);


So you may use it like this and avoid the first memory allocation too:

ubyte[4096] buffer;
foreach (ubyte[] chunk; stdin.byChunk(buffer[])) {
    ... use chunk ...
}
