I'd like to read from a file, one byte at a time, without loading the

I was hoping I could do something like
auto f = File("somefile");
foreach(c; f.byChar) {
process(c);
}
but there appears to be no such way to do it anymore. Instead, the
stdlib seems to provide several functions to do chunked reads from the
file where I have to manually manage the buffer. I see that D1 had a
stream, but it's no longer here and I understand ranges are supposed to
be used instead.
What's the explanation here? Why is there no more stream and what am I
supposed to use instead? Do I really need to be manually managing the
read buffer myself?
