Is that not an example of how Steve thinks it should work? Both 
are Boost licensed. mir-core has no external dependencies. Ilya 
could split the parse/bignum packages to a separate repo with no 
other dependencies and then public import them in mir-algorithm 
and just normally import them elsewhere.

Walter's original comment was about adding it to DMD. He may have 
intended Phobos, but I read it as DMD.
