std.stream was deemed to not be up to Phobos' current standards, and it's not in line with Phobos' current design and implementation (most notably, it doesn't support ranges at all). No one has cared enough to come up with an alternative implementation and propose it for inclusion in Phobos. However, for most needs, ranges do what you might do with a stream solution, and std.bitmanip provides useful functions for byte-level manipulation (e.g. taking the first elements from a range of ubytes and converting them to int). Depending on what you're looking for, http://code.dlang.org/packages/iopipe could also fit in quite well, though it's very much a work in progress, and there are several serialization libraries on code.dlang.org if that's more what you're looking for. - Jonathan M Davis
