Function std.range.primitives.moveFront

Moves the front of r out and returns it. Leaves r.front in a destroyable state that does not allocate any resources (usually equal to its .init value).

ElementType!R moveFront(R) (
  R r
);

Example

auto a = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
writeln(moveFront(a)); // 1
writeln(a.length); // 3

// define a perfunctory input range
struct InputRange
{
    enum bool empty = false;
    enum int front = 7;
    void popFront() {}
    int moveFront() { return 43; }
}
InputRange r;
// calls r.moveFront
writeln(moveFront(r)); // 43
