"each" implementation iterate thru ranges using:

foreach(ref x; range) { }

If range hasn't a ref front() this code should throw a compile error (IMO) but
it doesn't.

The worst part is that if x is a struct, ctor is called but dtor is never
called.
In my case if I iterate just a single node of a tree, node dtor is never
called, resources are not freed and in turn the whole tree is never freed (huge
memory leak).
