> When are allocators going to be ready?

Direct experience shows me that once things are in Phobos, it's 
not easy to fix their interface/API. Andrei fears of breaking 
changes, so even small API improvements of Phobos stuff written 
last year are refused. See as example:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8467

So Phobos stuff once created is almost set in stone. This means 
that in practice the Phobos APIs should be perfect on the first 
try. So better to not rush things, and do things right.

Bye,
