Implementing this would mean adding a field to byValue / byKey Result range struct which subtracts 1 from the field on each popFront.

I'm not convinced there's enough motivation for this feature.

// example of an alternative
import std.range;
auto knownLength(Range) (auto ref Range rng, size_t len)
    if (isInputRange!Range)
{
    static struct Result
    {
        Range r;
        size_t length;
        alias r this;
        auto popFront()()
        {
            --length;
            r.popFront();
        }
        @property bool empty()()
        {
            assert(!length == r.empty);
            return !length;
        }
    }
    return Result(rng, len);
}

void main() {
    int[int] aa;
    auto bykey = aa.byKey.knownLength(aa.length);
    auto byval = aa.byValue.knownLength(aa.length);
}

I agree, I close down this ER.
