sayeth a low-level guy (if I understand correctly), which will 
certainly create a distinct perspective about what you would like 
to see in the standard library, and yet this may not be the right 
thing for the language as a whole.

fwiw, people that do use D on a serious scale have remarked that 
the richness of the standard library (even as it stands today) 
was a major advantage - in bioinformatics, at a London hedge 
fund, and I think AdRoll.
