How would you do it in D?

P.S. You can ignore the following note from the challenge text;
I don't think it applies to D. Honestly, I don't think it
matters for C++17 either. :)
"You can assume input files won't be super large and can fit
fully into memory."

I opted for writing to stdout instead, because 1) it's easier, x)
it's less code, and b) it's more flexible.
The memory limitations certainly do apply - readText would fail
upon reading humongous files, and for 32-bit programs the
resulting string wouldn't be able to hold enough data. Since the
code uses ranges though, a simple replacement of readText with an
mmapped equivalent should enable humongous file support with no
other code change required.
