Since the tutorials project began before the Tango project began, there's already
an established pro-Phobos bias. ;)

I looked into creating some examples that would work for Phobos and Tango (using
version(Tango)), but it was harder to do than I thought it would be, so I don't
think I ever added any pages based on my efforts.

I'm not against people adding Tango examples to the Tutorials project, but they
should include a mention of Tango (something like "Tango is required").

It's helpful to mention which combination of compiler version/library version it's
been tested with so that if breaks, future users will have a clue as to why it broke.
