So if I understood correctly, you did not mean ejecting core.stdc 
but that DRuntime should not depend on it? Yeah, that sound 
reasonable for me too (If it is practical effort), regardless of 
DPP. But C libraries should be kept as a backup for platforms 
where there aren't D implementations. For example, IO functions 
could first try (using design by introspection) some 
implementation like https://github.com/schveiguy/iopipe. And if 
that does not support the enviroment, then fallback to C IO.
