foreach first copy range and then iterate over it.
RefCounted is not range, foreach directly copy element of RefCounted.
//this code is equivalent to yours
void notOk() {
auto r = refCounted(Range());
writeln("before ", r.front);
Range tmp_r = r;
foreach (i; tmp_r)
writeln("loop ", i);
writeln("after ", r.front);
assert(r.i == 3, "r.ri != 3");
}
You need something like RefCountedRange with methods popFront, front, empty.
