          Issue ID: 22446
           Summary: isInputRange fails to recognize range if element type
                    is nested struct that has a copy ctor

import std.range;

void main() {
    struct S {
        // comment this ctor to make the issue disappear
        this(return ref scope const S) {}

        void remainNestedEvenIfCtorAboveIsCommented() {}
    }

    static assert(__traits(isNested, S));   // passes

    static assert(isInputRange!(S[]));      // fails
}

Removing the copy ctor makes the check pass, so this might be a dmd issue?..

It would seem that the problematic check in isInputRange is the

is(typeof((return ref R r) => r.front))

which triggers the infamous "cannot access frame pointer", but not when the copy ctor is not present.
